PROVERBS 17:19–22
At a local nursing home, a carer often organises “story time,” where residents share light-hearted memories from their youth. As tales of childhood mischief and funny mishaps fill the room, faces brighten, shoulders relax, and joy seems to sweep away loneliness. The laughter creates a healing atmosphere, reminding us that gladness is a gift from God.
Scripture tells us that a cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones (Proverbs 17:22). Choosing joy, even in difficulty, restores strength and builds connection.
Be cheerful today!
🙏 May God fill your heart with His joy. Help you to embrace laughter as His gift and let it heal your spirit and relationships. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
