A time to laugh

Thought it was time for a little laughter:



Psalm 126:1-3 "When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, 'The LORD has done great things for them.' The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad."

Proverb 17:22 "A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones."

Ecclesiastes 3:4 "(To everything there is a season) . . . a time to laugh . . ."

Job 8:21, 22 "He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."

Luke 6:21 "Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh."

Insight: The Bible promotes laughter and says it does good. It can be a reward and a blessing from God. Enjoy times of laughter because it's a gift from God.

Prayer: "Dear Lord, thank you for laughter. Thank you for giving us opportunities to see things in a funny way. Help us to have a light heart. Remind us that You are faithful. Increase our faith in You and our love for You and for others. Help us to laugh and to make others laugh, so we can be blessed. In Jesus' name, Amen."
