A joyful heart is good medicine - Proverbs 17:22

Many times we get burden with the day to day duties as husbands, wives, sons, daughters, doctors, lawyers, teachers, police that we forget that God is not just a somber mournful lives.

There is joy in the morning when we can see the sunshine, or the rain to water the lawn.

There is joy in the birth of child that is welcomed by parents, grandparents and loved ones.

There is joy when one is made well after sickness, and can walk again.

There is joy when food is given to those in need and hearts are opened to hear that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

There is joy and laughter when old Christians can hear the laughter of young Christians which proves that God is over both young in age and young at heart.

Yes, there is a time where tears, pain and "weeping may tarry for the night but joy comes in the morning...Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in the heart" Psalms 30:5, 32:11

There is more joy and laughter each day. Pray for joy and laughter through your day and perhaps as the others see you they desire to learn more of the joy of salvation.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit Psalms 51:12
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: ...
a time to weep, and a time to laugh (Ecclesiastes 3:1,4).
