I was thinking recently about a beautiful gift that God has given us – the gift of laughter. We all have this precious gift, but do we use it? When is the last time you laughed, and I mean really laughed? Do you know that children laugh on average three hundred times a day but an adult, only about four times a day! It seems that when we grow up, we forget to laugh.
Did you know that laughter can help you lose weight? Laughing one hundred times is as much of a workout as fifteen minutes on an exercise bike. Ten minutes of laughter can result in two hours of pain relief. It dispels anxiety and fear. What a gift! We all need to learn to laugh. In Proverbs, it tells us about a woman who can laugh at the days that are to come. When we have fear and anxiety, let’s trust God and laugh!
