"A cheerful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22 NLT
You know they have done studies that have shown that when you laugh, it increases the number of T cells in your body, which raises you immunity level; it’s good for your health. When you laugh it produces endorphins in your brain. There are beneficial effects to humor. Humor is God’s gift; laughter is God’s gift. It is the shock absorber of life. It lightens the load. It makes things more palatable.
I heard this story the other day about two cars that collided on a winding, backwoods road. The drivers got out and traded insurance information in a friendly manner. Then first driver took out a bottle and said, “Look, you seem a bit shaken up. How about a drink to steady your nerves?” So the second driver took the flask and gulped some down. He said, “Thanks, man, I really appreciate it.” Then the second driver asked the first driver, “Aren’t you going to have any?” He said, “Not till after the police get here.” Laughter is a good way to recharge emotionally.
