Well, I find myself just completed reading the scripture verses that deal with Joy in the bible. Would you think that God is trying to tell me something? I tend to be pretty serious at times and I forget that it is OK to sit back and relax and enjoy what God has placed before me. Family, laughter and love. I am going to do just that today. After church spending a little quality time gathering with those that He placed in my life as family. I have to tell myself do not talk serious things today talk fun things today, it is easier said than done. Correction, not so in reality for when we gather we usually do tend to laugh a lot. The majority of the laughter comes from silly mistakes we made and they now are our source of laughter when we gather. Laughter is good for your soul and releases a peace about you. The burdens and worries of today will still be there tomorrow so why not join me in resting about the cares of today and seizing the day today with laughter in your heart and joy in seeing the joy in others around you.
I always heard joy being described as this:
Jesus
Others
You
More recent, I hear this and I just love this one much better than the former one
Jesus
On
You
So what are you going to do today? Take the Jesus On You and share it with other. It really is OK to laugh, I must remind myself to do that today, it really is OK to laugh. OK, I put you to the challenge are you going to laugh today? I am going to. You know it is OK to laugh even if you are doing something serious for the Lord, maybe you are fasting or seeking Him for direction in your life. Do not put on that grumpy "down and out" look on your face. Wipe that frown off of your face and turn it upside down to a smile. Remember the words for the day are SMILE, SMILE, SMILE, LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH. Now, the hardest part of this today will be me reminding myself that it really is OK to indulge in this.
