Even God laughs, so you must learn to laugh!
“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh…” (Psalms 2:4a)
Laughter is a powerful tool with incredible benefits for both physical and mental health. It releases endorphins—natural hormones that help reduce stress, pain, and anxiety. Beyond boosting the immune system and preventing aging, laughter enhances creativity and problem-solving by allowing the brain to think freely and outside the box.
Given the many benefits of laughter, allow me to bring some joy to your day and laughter to your mouth with this short story of a Monkey-man:
” My boss thinks I’m not smart. (says the Monkey-man)
Yesterday, he sent me to buy 2kg of sugar, but the store only had 1kg packs, so I didn’t buy anything. When I returned, he was furious and said I should have used my brain—by buying two 1kg packs to make 2kg.
I kept quiet.
Today, he sent me to buy a pair of size 6 shoes, but the store only had size 3. This time, I used my brain—I bought two pairs of size 3 to make a size 6!
Now he’s making me wait outside the office. I saw him writing something… I think it’s a promotion letter”
Hhmmm….Promotion letter ke? Abi…..Who knows? Guess now. Eh…😃😃😝🤓. I laugh in Spanish and can’t laugh alone oo.
My dear reader, certainly, your own intellectual capacity and creativity set you apart from lower primates such as this monkey because you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God (Ps. 139:14). That’s why you’re laughing. So, laugh, and laugh again—keep your mind sharp and your spirit lifted!
Beloved, no matter what challenges you face, find reasons to laugh. Find something around you that can make you laugh. Like anytime I go back to the picture of the monkey above and think what could it be thinking, I laugh. It is your time to rejoice! Rejoice and I say, rejoice evermore!
May God fill your life with joy and your mouth with laughter, and may those around you have reasons to laugh with you.
Cheer up, men! Don’t allow dull moments to steal your joy.
You’re Lifted!
