| Healthy Laughter is Good for You !! |
When my children were small,
they often watched cartoons, but one day they were watching The Three Stooges
on TV and my sister-in-law was visiting.
She said, she did not allow her children to watch that show because “The
show teaches children to hit each other and think it is funny.”
As I thought about it, I
realized she was right, so that program became off limits.
The cartoons of goofy Duck
being hurt was not the same as real people in pain.
I do not like the videos of
people banging themselves up while others laugh.
As long as it isn’t us getting hurt – many think it is funny, but
seriously it is NOT funny.
What does make us laugh? Robert and I enjoy a good clean joke, and
many movies and TV shows are truly funny.
We also laugh out loud at some of the cartoons in the newspaper. Mr. Pickles is our favorite.
Actually a good belly laugh
is good for your health and there is much good humor available.
The Bible instructs us to
have a cheerful and happy heart and to rejoice.
Proverbs 17:22 A
merry heart does good like a medicine: but a broken spirit dries up the
bones.

Did you know that even God
laughs?
The Bible says, when people
plot against God and his plans, he just doubles up with laughter and boos in derision at them.
Psalms 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord
scoffs at them.
Psalms 37:13 but
the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
This one made me
laugh and then I praised God for I believe it is true! God is protecting Israel and He is probably chuckling too!
Overheard - -Gaza Hamas were Complaining, 'Their God Changes The Paths
Of Our Rockets In Mid-Air'.
