Proverbs 17:22 says, "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
Have you ever smiled SO big or laughed so long that your face and stomach hurt afterwards? I'm experiencing that feeling right now as I write this.. It's such a "good" kind of hurt though. I just got back from attending Southern's improv show. The room was packed with people ready for a good laugh and let me tell you, laughter filled the room. The team of about 6 people are incredibly talented and very humorous. My heart was filled with glee as I watched them use their talents to put smiles on others faces. I almost feel like God was looking down from heaven and laughing with us.
It's always good to laugh. Not only is laughing very contagious, but it also has some really good effects on the body. Laughter scares away the stress that we have built up in our lives and turns it into something positive. Some people like to say that maybe Jesus was humorous when He lived on this earth.
Tonight, I was able to kick back and enjoy some good 'ol laughter and a great show. Each and every one of us has talents. Whether we decide to use our talents for the glory of God is up to us. He's the one who instilled those talents in us. Whether your talent is making people laugh or just being there to listen when others have problems, it is very important to make sure that God is in the center of those talents. When God is in the center of anything you do, you will find joy.
Today nothing too exciting happened besides attending the improv show. But God still blessed. Sometimes, it's not in the big things, but in the little things that we see God working. I saw God working through laughter and communion with those around me. Laughter brings people closer together.
For all those who have decided to follow my newfound journey, thank you and I look forward to the events of Day 4.
