Formations 8: Laughter

“But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

As a child, I was laughed at by someone who called himself my father. I was laughed at by my peers for my size and lack of grace. All of this curbed my sense of humor. But I am thankful I have learned to laugh again. I still don’t always get jokes, but when I do, my laughter sounds like a cheerful, melodic song to my ears. I will continue to develop this trait, not at the expense of anyone else, but to reap the benefits of one of the most healing gifts from God: laughter.
