Let’s Laugh! The Bible Says It is Good for You!

Today we shared 7 Biblical reasons why laughter is an important thing!

“There’s nothing quite like sharing a hearty belly laugh with friends, often accompanied by tears — an involuntary response to something hilarious.

Laughter is a gift from God, connecting us to the joyful presence of our Creator. Psalm 16:11 beautifully says, “You will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” This sentiment is echoed in Zephaniah 3:17, where we’re reminded of God’s joyful affection for His children as He sings and rejoices over them.

Laughter has the incredible power to bridge gaps and bring hearts closer. As Victor Borge famously said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.”

Every Job is an Important Ministry!

Today we talked about why every job is an important ministry. It was great insight from Crosswalk.com!

“Have you ever considered that Jesus modeled work-life ministry? It is easy to forget that Jesus spent more than 50 percent of His adult life in a carpentry shop. He was more known for being a carpenter than He was for being the Son of God.

Perhaps that is why so many people had difficulty reconciling Jesus, the carpenter, with Jesus the Son of God who did miracles in the workplace. Jesus didn’t separate the work he did with his hands or head from the work he did with his heart.

His job was his ministry. And your job is, too.”
