"A happy heart makes the face cheerful" -- Proverbs 15:13 / New International Version
Laughter is God's gift, and He intends that we enjoy it. Yet, sometimes, because of the inevitable stresses of everyday life, laughter seems only a distant memory. As Christians we have every reason to be cheerful and to be thankful. Our blessings from God are beyond measure, starting, of course, with a gift that is ours for the asking. God's gift of salvation through Christ Jesus.
So today, as you go about your daily activities, approach life with a grin and a chuckle. After all, God created laughter for a reason . . . to use it. So laugh!

Lord, when we begin to take ourselves or our lives too seriously, let us laugh. When we rush from place to place, slow us down, Lord, and let us laugh. Put a smile on our faces, dear Lord, and let us share that smile with all who cross our path . . . and let us laugh. Amen.
