Don't Worry, Be Happy

Good Morning!! Current thought recognizes the many health benefits of laughter. It's been said that laughter reduces stress, strengthens the immune system, relaxes muscles, lowers blood pressure, provides respiratory cleansing, diminishes pain and is good cardiac exercise. Isn't that just like our Heavenly Father? He uses something as great as laughter to help us stay healthy. Laughter is healthy, but what do most of us tend to do? Worry,...complain,...focus on problems more than blessings,...indulge in staying overly busy,...stress out over the little things, as well as the big things. Where is the laughter and joy in that?

A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.—Proverbs 17:22 (AMP)

Our God, is a happy God,...and laughter really is the best medicine. As the Bible instructs, we would do well to learn from little children,...they are more like God than we are. They know how to laugh and have fun. Want to stay healthy? Eat right, exercise, get enough rest,...and above all, laugh!

While we might not be laugh-out-loud happy, all the time,
...that inner joy of the Lord should always show through.

 

Lord, sometimes we forget how much we have to be thankful for. Forgive us for grumbling and complaining. Help us to focus more on You, Father. Help us to focus on our many blessings,...especially the joy of salvation. We will rejoice in the LORD and be glad! Amen.
