Laughter IS Good Medicine!

It's an interesting reminder in Proverbs that "A cheerful heart is good medicine." Today's reading also reminds us that God does want us to enjoy life. I did a search on the Mayo Clinic web site and found that they have 24 hits on the physical and emotional effects of laughter! Isn't it remarkable that science and medicine are now "proving scientifically" what was written in Proverbs several thousand years ago??

I'm presently reading a book called "Choose Joy" by Kay Warren. She makes it clear through numerous scripture references that our Lord does want us to choose joy in our lives. I also appreciate the words of Sarah Young in today's devotional that "Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places!" What do you do that brings joy and/or laughter to yourself as well as to others?
