I CAN LAUGH AGAIN!!!

Job 8:21 "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy." One morning when I got out of bed, I spoke out a prophetic word that fell into my spirit from the Lover of my soul...“I will clothe you in royal, costly wardrobe worth $10,000 and will adorn you as My Bride.” The more I repeated it the more I was stirred up and the more I began to rejoice. Learning to Laugh Again: Don't be embarrassed by what tickles your funny bone. Chuckle over babies spitting bubbles, dropping salt in your cup of coffee instead of sugar. Grin at yourself in the mirror, at your ability to repeat a joke--and remember the punch line. You will feel better if you can laugh at your mistakes and smile through what ails you. Happiness attracts like a magnet. You will get others laughing with you. Laughter sweeps cobwebs out of closet corners and keeps the moths out. It relaxes those stress muscles, gives your face a glow and adds sparkles to your eyes, believe me...try it! It's time to put on your festive garments and move on! Prayer Pause: Lord, as the words of Psalm 126:1-3 express, “You have done great things for me and I am glad.” I can't believe that I have looked adversity straight in the face and now I'm catching myself giggling again. Proverbs 17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine." How I need more of this divine prescription that You have provided to heal my grieving heart! Amen. Laughter is a shock absorber that eases the blows of life. Even the act of smiling when you don't feel like it can reduce stress and improve your mood. Not only does it attract positive responses from others, but it also promotes a sense of well-being and strength. Nehemiah 8:10b “....And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold."
