Laughter is medicine for the soul, but sometimes, amid the stresses of the day, we forget to take our medicine. Instead of viewing our world with a mixture of optimism and humor, we allow worries and distractions to rob us of the joy that God intends for our lives.
So the next time you find yourself dwelling upon the negatives of life, refocus your attention to things positive. The next time you find yourself falling prey to the blight of pessimism, stop yourself and turn your thoughts around. And, if you see your glass as "half empty," rest assured that your spiritual vision is impaired. With God as your protector and Christ your Savior, your glass is filled to the brim and overflowing...forever.
Today, as you go about your daily activities, approach life with a smile on your lips and hope in your heart. And laugh every chance you get. After all, God created laughter for a reason... and Father indeed knows best. So laugh!

Prayer from the Blogger:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of laughter. When life starts to rob me of the joy which You bring, I ask that you would send me a thought that would put a smile on my face and remind me of You.
Amen

12 A mocker doesn’t love one who corrects him;
he will not consult the wise.
