Laughter Protects

Bite sized truth that becomes life sizedprinciples: When a little boy on his scooter hit a bump in the sidewalk and took a tumble, he
paused and then burst out laughing.  A passer-by who saw no fun in the bruises asked: “What’s so funny?  Why laugh about it?”  The boy replied, “Mr., I’m laughing so I won’t
cry.”     Occasionally we adults hit a rough place in life and suffer a spill; now that is a good time to laugh, lest we lose self-possession. Laughing is a safety valve which lets off the tensions of irritations; if the valve doesn’t work, we become as grim as an owl, but without his proverbial wisdom.

“Even in laughter, the heart is sorrowful.” – Proverbs 14:13

Words — food for thought — Something to think about, to pray about –Today!
