Laughter

One day not long ago I started to laugh. I cannot remember what started it, but I rolled and rolled all over. After the outburst of laughter I felt so good inside. Proverbs 17:22A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. I desire to have a cheerful heart, one that sings, and encourages people. Maybe you do not know that saying bad words to people crushes their spirit, but scripture says in many places, that life and death are in the power of the tongue.There are thousands of people that fight depression every day, and we need to help them with encouragement, and kind words.
I do smile a lot, and take time to make others smile. Someone said to me I just can't get into that joy stuff. I can and I do because I have a choice to be happy or to be sad. Over winter I got really depressed. It was a terrible feeling, and it lasted for 3 weeks. I cried because there are people who are depressed for months, years, and their whole life. My goal is to make people happy. Smile a little more, laugh a lot, and tell people a kind word today. You do have a choice.
I wish you God's riches blessings, Van
