Laughter

Sunday, January 29, 2006

The Psalmist said, "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy." (Psalm 126:2).

Dr. Seuss, the famous author of children's books said, "Humor has a tremendous place in a sordid world. It's more than just a laughing matter. If you can see things out of whack, then you can certainly see how things can be in whack." (From Keep On Dancin' Daily Readings to Celebrate Life, by Tim Hansel).

Having fun releases us from our circumstances and gives us the courage to laugh at our problems---and ourselves. Laughing doesn't make the pressures go away, but it helps us view them more clearly. Laughing opens a door of HOPE!
