The Bible says that laughter is good medicine. If that's true, and I believe it is, then our group is well medicated. I have not heard this much laughter in a long time. Today in particular has been full of giggles and smiles. When your ears are filled with so much laughter it's hard not to laugh yourself and that's when the healing qualities kick in. When you're laughing you forget about the junk in your life, the pain in your past and the uphill climb tomorrow will bring. When you're laughing your heart grows and it sheds some of that bitterness it's been carrying. The hard shell begins to crack.
When you're laughing you feel a little bit of that "full" life Jesus refers to.
Today was one of the fullest days I can remember. We took the girls to a beautiful palace with fountains and gardens, we ate pizza and then went on a nighttime boat ride through the city. The sun was setting, the girls were full of laughter and we were thankful. We finished the day talking about the father qualities of God and Jesus' desire to give us a full life. As we were returning to our rooms, Nadya said something funny and our laughter filled the elevator.
I'm praying for one more day of medicine.
