"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun"- Ecclesiastes 8:15 (NIV).
A baby giggling uncontrollably, over seemingly nothing, maybe their sister merely dropping a floppy doll to the floor over and over again, will cause most adults to laugh or, at the very least, smile. Check out the number of views on Youtube when you search baby laughing. Joy is easily shared and it carries health benefits, both mentally and physically. Joy triggers the release of endorphins that promote a sense of well-being and increases the infection-fighting antibodies your body needs for protection from diseases. A joy-filled heart is certainly good medicine (Proverbs 17:22). That joy will go with you into your work day enabling you to live the victorious life God created you to live. Be joyous in this day; God designed it specifically for you (Psalm 118:24). That should put a smile on your face.
