"He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing" (Job 8:21) To laugh...To laugh...A Profound Spiritual Healing Emotion.     "Laughter is the sun that drives away the winter from the human face" Victor Hugo        Our society gets more serious, afflicted and troubled each day. The news multiplies each day and makesour sky darker portending a storm like we have never yet had. We rub our hands together and our heart beat seems to increase.   It is true that life is serious, but for that same reason we shouldn't take it so seriously. We need to learn to make a stop on the way to oxygenate the mind and the spirit with this healthy remedy of laughter.       The psalmist said it this way: "Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing..." (Psalm 126:2).   Laughter is a profound spiritual emotion, therefore it brings healing. Laughter is an essential part of emotional healing. Laughter is a gift from God. He invented laughter, He put it in man's heart to illuminate the face when pain was present on the lips. To grow and  to mature is a learning process of life until we can see in perspective the daily issues in their context, and one of the blessings that help us to mature is to know how to laugh and let the joy of the spirit have its way in the midst of life’s pressures.     "Laughter keeps us more reasonable than anger would" Peter Marcus         While children laugh an average of 300 times a day, we adults laugh an average of 15 times daily. Could that be why headaches have increased? "...Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh" (Luke 6:21).    "When you laugh, your mind, body & spirit change" Mark Twain. Laughter is a subconscious tension liberator. Today's world is extremely worried about the economy, nuclear missiles, taxes and many other things, and that has made us human beings like time bombs walking on the streets ready to explode. "The Human race has a very effective weapon: laughter" Mark Twain.        Next time you find yourself with a person filled with tension, smile at him and make him laugh. His face will shine, you'll see. When people laugh together they feel closer to each other and can endure more difficult times than those that won't pause and laugh once in a while.   In a more profound level, laughter and good humor are the great gifts of God to help us cope with life indifficult times. Laughter is the opportunity to transcend the limitations that blind us to see God more clearly. Laughter helps us to balance our life in proportion to the trials we encounter. Laughter drives away depression, pain and despair. Laughter gives us energy and takes us to a rest place in life.   There are so many good things to a hearty laugh! It is the concrete key that deciphers a complete man.   When was the last time you enjoyed a good laugh, are you taking life too seriously? Why don't weventure to brake the tedium of our existence and learn to laugh with others? Next time you find yourselves with someone that seems to have been invaded by dark shadows, bring him laughter to oxygenate his mind.   My sister Edy sent me this about laughter, perhaps she figured I needed more laughter in my life...being here with the twins you cannot help but laugh all the day long just looking at them laugh all the day long.They get up with a huge smile and they go to bed with a huge smile too, they absolutely blow my mind.   Being away from the ranch at this time is hard. Well, it is always hard being away from my husband, but at the same time I am so thankful the Lord allows me the opportunity to be here and visit with Rochelle.    Daniel perspective: HA HA HA HA HA HA!   "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."  I know that there are times that I need so badly to laugh and I thank God for the people who can help me to do so. We haven't had much to laugh at lately but God is faithful and we are anticipating times of refreshment soon. (I'm not sure if it will be here on earth or not, but those times will come!)  Please continue to lift up the girls for us. This week is going to be very crucial and we will be seeing if the storm is going to pass or if it is just beginning. We covet your prayers and we love you all. God bless you, Daniel & Ana
