Today’s power scripture comes from Proverbs 17:22: “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.”
Try to not take life too seriously. While we always need to strive for excellence in doing our jobs, completing our school work or participating in church and civic activities; we must not take ourselves so seriously that we do not enjoy the process. Laughter is the best medicine and a merry heart can heal a troubled soul and an anguished body. If things seem a little tense around you, take some time to untangle the downtrodden web that is trying to encapsulate you and find a reason to laugh. If you have the time – take in a good comedic movie or watch an episode of a situation comedy on television or streaming video. If time is of the essence, then just take a few moments to read a comic strip or look up the joke of the day on the internet. The point is …lighten up.
Our God has a wonderful sense of humor…He must. .. just look around at creation and you know that God was chuckling when he created the platypus or decided to only let us see one side of the moon. Find a reason to laugh today and share that merriment with those around you. It definitely is contagious!
Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-filled day. Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
