A Joyful Heart

Recently I've been realizing the power of real laughter. 


Now what do I mean by real? 


Real meaning the joyful, expressive kinda the bubbles up from your soul, causes you to cry, just because you are truly delighting in something with another person. 


The other thing is real laughter banishes all other emotions. You forget about your troubles, your pain, you paper due in a few moments... You just enjoy what you have in that instant. You delight in that moment. 


My very close friend and I have been Struggling to keep our laughter down for the past week. Why? Well, God has basically been showing us the humor that people live their lives in. 


If you don't study people, you will not understand what I am talking about. 


People are funny. No, hilarious. I find so much amusement of the delight of young children watching College students swing on park swings,  Parents realizing that their children are (sometimes) more intelligent then the rest of the world. People putting their foot in their mouths... you get the idea. 


The thing I am noticing is which people laugh it off and which people truly cannot handle it. I'm surprised by the fact that most people will laugh it off. Maybe not in the current moment, but in the end, I am shocked by how many people laugh about their past mistakes. 


Growing up whenever I did anything stupid, people would always tell me that I would laugh about it later. 


I find it utterly hilarious that I am now doing the exact same things now, and enjoying every second of it. 


What I've been finding recently is this verse is so true. 


Proverbs 17.22~A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.


Growing up this is kinda cliche, and overstated, but it's not. The reality of it is, so many people think they have a "joyful heart"when they do not. I'm realizing this. 


It's breaking my heart. Some people are so negative about certain subjects that they don't realise how their complaining and their hearts are connected. 


This is the way life is. you can take it or laugh at it the choice is yours. 


Katydid out.
