When you are sick, this is exactly what God may prescribe: “Take 2 tablespoons of laughter and call Me in the morning”.
In Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV), the Bible says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.” God gave us the Bible as a manual for our lives, our future, and our bodies. When the Creator speaks about a merry heart, it is a heart that is stress free, worry free and filled with joy. The definition of “merry” is cheerful and lively. Being active and filled with laughter could describe a person with a merry heart.

Who Touched Me?
By Jacqueline Hannah
She sat opposite me at the small table nestled in the back corner of a busy coffee shop. Her hands folded and unfolded. Her eyes, serious and direct, watched for my reaction. “I can’t go on like this much longer. Maybe I should end it all. It would be so much better for my family. They wouldn’t have to deal with my fears, my outbursts, and my depression. Each day is different – they’re never sure what to expect.”
