A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22 ESV)
When dark winter brings loss and sorrow, I need some laughter to fill my soul. It is like taking a dose of medicine when my body is sick. I need one of those deep belly- laughs to overtake me and cause my heart to fill with joy again.
Be Encouraged! If this year you are filled with sorrow, allow yourself to be around folks who are funny. Those ones who speak and you can’t help but laugh.
