Belly Laughs

Hey everyone. I’m Sherry Douglas with Heart-Song. Have you had a good belly laugh
recently? Don’t you just love when they happen?! These deep, infectious laughs bubble
up from our souls and create feelings of love and connection with those who are
present. Recently Mark had a great belly laugh about something silly. Some of our kids
and grandkids were present so everyone laughed out loud and hard. It was one of those
times that if you try to tell someone not present why you laughed so hard, it wouldn’t
sound funny at all. You just had to be there! Belly laughs are such a wonderful gift!
When we give in to laughter, our souls are renewed and it is a good reminder that joy
still exists - even in difficult circumstances. Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is
good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Good belly laughs are
examples of the joy the Lord desires for us. Our hearts are lifted and our spirits
brightened. I’ve read that a good belly laugh is a “holy kind of joy.” Let’s welcome those
moments!
Live the way you want to be remembered!
