"It was a good time and we had fun at my expense."
Life can get too serious. In one day between the news and your neighbors every terrible thing can be presented to you. Life needs levity.
There are pressure releases that God has built into us. He is our greatest pressure release. We can cast our cares on Him in prayer any time. We also have faith filled friends who can be trusted to help us bear burdens that are too great for us.
I believe that laughter can be a great pressure release. One of the fruits of the Spirit, right after love, is joy. We can laugh and smile because we have the Spirit of God. We can have the joy of our salvation, the joy of the Lord and joy from the Spirit.
Have a good laugh and see how you feel. I'm not saying to ignore problems. You can face them with a smile because the joy of the Lord is our strength.
Is there a funny memory you have that when you think of it you laugh? What are some joyful moments in your life?
