Day 289 - Maintain Humor

Barbara Johnson says it is good to keep your sense of humor during this time of grief; in fact, keeping a sense of humor is one of the healthiest things you can do: “Oh, I think that’s very important. You see, one laugh equals three spoons of oat bran. And one laugh will burn six calories. And one laugh is like jogging on the inside. I think God intended for us to laugh.

"Job 8:21 says, ‘He will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.’ So laughter is very important. Many people don’t have a sense of humor, and they suffer longer and harder than those that can have a little laugh bubble out.”

Lord of all, bring something humorous in my path today. Teach me to relax inside and let “a little laugh bubble out.” Amen.
