Last week in our Spiritual Workshop we were led to laughing about something. One lady who suffers severely from rheumatoid arthritis laughed so much she commented, “I’m not even hurting!” Laughing is indeed good for health, heart and soul. Here is something to help you laugh it up. Happy September first!

Wear the full armor of God……….Ephesians 6:11
Rest in Jesus……….Matthew 11:28
Breathe in the Holy Spirit……….John 20:22
Do Not Worry……….Matthew 6:5
(Laugh often) A cheerful heart is good medicine…………..Proverbs 17:22 (brackets mine)
Living With a Capital “L”
Here is what I learned from Dr. Charles Stanley, In Touch Ministries, on February 19th. He said, “You’re young and useful at any age if you’re still planning for tomorrow.”
Some of the ways to plan for tomorrow begin with a capital L.
Learning…learn something new every day; I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Psalm 32:8
Loving…love is the best feeling in the world; 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 says it all.
Laughing…laughter is having an internal massage; A cheerful heart is good medicine…Proverbs 17:22
Leaving…your past behind. Don’t live with your junk. (Dr. Stanley)
Longing…long to know your purpose in life and then fulfill it. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28)
Looking…your best. You feel your best and do your best when you look your best. (Dr. Stanley)
Labouring…working…You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Psalm 128:2 NIV
Leaning…on the Lord…Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Proverbs 3:5
Listening…to God…Whoever has ears, let them hear. Matthew 11:15 (NIV)
These are just a few of the ways we can live with a capital L. It’s what I learned on February 19th.
People in Your Life
Happy weekend…I hope it is peopled with those who make you laugh loud, smile big, and live better.
A Time to Weep
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; (Ecclesiastes 3:4)
Weeping and mourning go hand in hand at any funeral service, and laughing and dancing are a sure thing at weddings.
But have you noticed how weeping sometimes gives way to laughter after a funeral service, when the mourned one is remembered lovingly, with humorous traits being recalled? A time to weep, and a time to laugh.
Some cultures even celebrate their deceased with dancing. Nelson Mandela’s funeral was one of those, as mourners danced through the funeral home prior to the service. A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
We have all had our times of weeping, mourning, laughing and dancing…it’s part of life…in Solomon’s time and in ours. The way I see it, these are all a celebration of life, one way or another.
