The purpose of laughter

According to the bible, "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine". Proverbs 17:22
There was a movie back in the day starring Robin Williams called Patch Adams, about a doctor and his ability to help those around him that were sick with laughter. Sometimes, the one thing each of needs from time to time is laughter. I was sharing with a close friend once and actually with a classroom full of people a remedy for sadness or anger. On youtube, you can search for laughing babies and just watch babies laugh. It will make you laugh. I guarantee it. No matter what is going on, there is always room for laughter. When its time to mourn, one should mourn, but one is to never stay there too long. God wants us to enjoy our lives and find the humor of life's experiences. Also, laughter will relieve you of your stress levels. I am not a doctor but the Great Physician has declared that a merry heart will do good just like medicine. Take time to laugh, its fun and its cheap.
