WORD for Wednesday....LAUGHTER

'LAUGHTER IS CONTAGIOUS.'

Could this little postcard from the 40's or 50's be the first attempt at texting? Seems that Mabel Lucie Attwell was well ahead of her time!
"U.R. ' A.1' --U.R.!"

'LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE!'

Research has shown health benefits of laughter can range from strengthening the immune system to reducing food cravings, and even increasing one's threshold for pain. Humor also has many stress relieving benefits.

This is not a new idea, though. Proverbs 17:22 tells us that

'a cheerful heart is good medicine.' (NIV)

It's the laughter that emanates from a cheerful heart, not just laughter, per se, that truly is the good medicine!

I love that last line, 'It's the laughter that emanates from a cheerful heart, not just laughter, per se, that truly is the good medicine!'

I'm so glad you're blogging!

I hope Bill got home okay. I didn't hear of any gun shot wounds in Cherokee County. ;)
