Sound medical advice

I didn't sleep well last night, woke up with a headache and have no energy.  As I started my quiet time reading I was greeted with the words, "Learn to laugh at yourself more freely.  Don't take yourself or your circumstances so seriously."-Sarah Young (Jesus Calling).  (And why do I ever question God's constant awareness of my needs for every moment!)

Those words have encouraged me to look through my Bible for laughter-related verses.  I seriously need my "Hot Tip for the Day" and maybe what I find will fill the bill.

"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."-Proverbs 17:22 (NIV).

I'd better get to work on this one.  A crushed spirit doesn't sound very appealing!

"......and she always faces tomorrow with a smile."-Proverbs 31:25 (The Message- speaking of a godly woman.)

Wow.....that's confidence!

"When The Lord brought back the captives to Zion, we were like men who dreamed.  Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy."-Psalm 126:1,2 (NIV).

This is how I hope to react when I'm brought back to good health from "captivity" to cancer!

"......Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh."-Luke 6:21 (NET).

Sounds good to me!

"A happy heart makes the face cheerful...."- Proverbs 15:13 (NIV).

A cheerful face it is!

"A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart, and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle."-Proverbs 15:30 (The Message).

I'll work hard on that twinkle today!

Mrs. Young sums it up well when she writes, "Laughter lightens your load and lifts your heart into heavenly places.  Your laughter rises to heaven and blends with angelic melodies of praise."-(Jesus Calling).

So, if I can't be happy after reading all those verses I will have no one to blame but myself.

On the health front:

The first sentence above pretty well describes it but I think I'll laugh it off😀
