Maybe It’s Time to Laugh Again
Someone recently gave me Charles R. Swindoll’s book Laugh Again, which is based on Paul's joyful letter to the Philippians. The complete title is Maybe It’s Time to Laugh Again. Experience Outrageous Joy. I’m gradually working my way through it again. I’m unsure how often I’ve read it since it was published in 1992. Philippians is one of four or five places in Scripture that I regularly return to when I need to refocus my mind, renew my attitude, and refresh my spirit. Receiving the book has been a good reminder of the line in the title: Maybe it’s time to…laugh again. Maybe it is. Life gets serious. Then, some of us make it even more serious than it needs to be. Paul said it over and over, “Rejoice. Rejoice. Again, I say, rejoice.” “Laugh again.” “Lighten up.” I occasionally end a challenging day of depressing news, sad messages from friends or family, and tough work situations by watching an episode of my favorite sitcom. It helps me laugh a little before going to bed. There are certain cartoons I check out and share via texts or social media. A co-worker shared a good joke last week, and I shared it in three different settings before the end of the day. Yes, it is time to laugh again. Look for reasons to laugh. Then, laugh and enjoy the laugh. Tom
