Enjoy a good laugh today

Some years ago around New Year’s, my husband and I decided to come up with New Year’s resolutions for each other. A risky venture I have learned. I don’t remember what I said to him, but he suggested I work on my sense of humor. I suppose that I had become a little too uptight. I hate to admit it, but he was right, I did need to “rediscover” my sense of humor. At times, life can certainly beat the joy right out of us. We get discouraged and downtrodden. Yet no matter how dormant our joy, one thing life can’t take from us, is our innate ability to laugh. Laughter is a choice. I marveled at people’s ability to have a quick wit, a creative comeback, and the capacity to laugh at themselves. Humor is a gift from God and we need to nurture it. Laughter is so important to our health both physically and spiritually. I pray that today we will find opportunities to delight in the joys around us for laughter expresses the beauty and the spirit we all carry within. So keep praying and keep laughing!!
