Laughter

Prov 17:22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Prov 3:1-6 My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days & years of life & peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love & faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor & good success in the sight of God & man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, & do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, & he will make straight your paths. — Laughter is the best medicine. Well science now agrees, below are some of the benefits listed by Mayo Clinic,

•”Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain.
•Activate and relieve your stress response. A rollicking laugh fires up and then cools down your stress response, and it can increase and then decrease your heart rate and blood pressure. The result? A good, relaxed feeling.
•Soothe tension. Laughter can also stimulate circulation and aid muscle relaxation, both of which can help reduce some of the physical symptoms of stress.”

We must remember that the Bible is filled with wisdom from our creator! Believe it! Love Mel

If God is For Us!

Rom 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Psalm 118:6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? Hebr 13:6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Deut 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” 1Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. —If God be for us! Who or what can stand against us? Nothing! Within each of us is what I call grit! Sometimes there is a fight that requires us to reach deep within to stop the enemy against us! But if we can just remember that God is for us & has promised to NEVER leave us nor FORSAKE us! So stand strong knowing this one thing! When one door closes another door always opens! Look for the open door! Love Mel
