When was the last time you had a really good laugh?
You know the one I mean...where you are just about loosing it from laughing so hard!
I had one last week and I realised that it had been a while since I had experienced such a thing…Which of course got me thinking about laughter and how good it is for us.

It all started with 4 guys in the church foyer talking about a meeting we had been at that week.
We found some of the things interesting to talk about, and then the conversation took on a life of its own.
It got more and more outrageous...more and more funny.
It finished with us laughing so hard we had to walk away…
Good times!

Proverbs 17:22 (amplified) says...
A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Maybe a good laugh is the medicine you need right now?
Maybe you should find somewhere/somehow to get this into you and see what it does in your life.

After that moment with those 4 guys, I went away feeling great.
Things didn’t seem to weigh me down.
Life seemed a little different, even for just that moment.

Here is another interesting verse…

Job 8:20-21
Behold, as surely as God will never uphold wrongdoers,
He will never cast away a blameless man.
He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with joyful shouting.

Have you thought about the fact that God designed us to laugh...to find things funny?
It is part of his amazing design for us. Part of the package he promises when he talks about us having life, and all its fullness.
We also know Jesus had his disciples who he lived, ate, slept with over about a 3 year period.
I wonder if they had times of laughing? Whether they got to share a good joke with Jesus and just about loose it laughing so hard?
Wouldn’t that be an amazing experience? Having a great laugh with Jesus...

Something to think about...
