Proverbs 17:22 tells us- "Laughter is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones." Laughter is good for you. Statistics show us that little kids laugh 400 times a day, while adults laugh as little as 4-11 times a day. What a big difference! There is even medical evidence that proves the Bible right. Laughing is likened to a form of physical exercise. It is like jogging on the inside. It lowers your blood pressure and heart rate, improves lung capacity, increases memory and alertness, reduces pain, and improves digestion. One doctor said that laughing 100-200 times a day is the cardiovascular equivalent of rowing for 10 minutes! Let's start laughing more. Laugh with your children, laugh at yourself. Laugh, laugh, and laugh some more!
On that note, we thought we would share with you a short video of the newest member of our family laughing. How contagious to hear a baby's laughter. Enjoy and laugh along!
Moriah's laughter is so contagious!
