Laughter is Good for the Soul

Laughter is Good for the Soul

I absolutely love to laugh! I’m talking about the kind of laughing where tears roll down your cheeks, you can barely breathe, and in some cases you may even start to wheeze because you are laughing with so much intensity. Truly, these are some of my favorite moments in life. Someone once said, “Laughter is the sound of the soul dancing.” Isn’t that just said so beautifully? I love the imagery that my soul is dancing for joy.

What makes your heart fill with joy and merriment? God’s Word says it best. In Proverbs 17:22 it says, ” A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Let’s look for the things that cheers our hearts because I don’t know about you, I’m not too thrilled about my bones being dried up!

Can you tell us a time where you laughed so hard that your stomach began to ache? Share your stories so that we can all laugh together today! By the way, the picture of me laughing hysterically is because I literally fell down several steps in a choir loft at a church where Joy FM was hosting a concert. And….I did that in front of about 1000 people. Sometimes, you just have to laugh at yourself and obviously…..I did!
