Laughter is Good Medicine
Laughter really is good medicine. The Bible tells us “There a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.” Ecclesiastes 3:4
Today I read a wonderfully written blog post by Bonnie Gray sharing how she rediscovered fun and laughter amidst the great “work” she was doing for God. She begins … “Some might say that spirituality is measured by hours spent in prayer or in the Bible. But, the ability to have fun can be a tell tale indicator of good faith health.” Read her entire post.
“A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22
Reading Bonnie’s post was a reminder for me to continue to slow down and smell the roses and that having fun can certainly be part of God’s work in my life! What about you?
Questions to Reflect On
Do you have a ‘happy heart?’ Are you making time to have fun on a regular basis, especially if you’re the task-oriented type.

“having fun can certainly be part of God’s work in my life!” What a wonderful way to put it, Dale!
And yes, for us task-oriented types who love God, I think laughter is one of God’s top agenda for us.
