Your Monday Hug Devotion for January 13, 2025: The Wisdom to Laugh

Welcome to this week’s Monday Hug Devotion! 🌟

This week, we’re focusing on the gift of laughter and how it brings light and peace into our lives. Life’s challenges can weigh us down, but God reminds us there’s always time for joy. Let’s reflect on how embracing laughter can ease our hearts and bring us closer to His grace.

🌟 Here’s what we’re exploring this week:

• Laughter as a Gift: A reminder that joy isn’t just for special moments—it’s meant to be part of everyday life.
• Finding Peace Through Humor: Life feels lighter when we allow ourselves to smile, even in difficult times.
• Trusting God’s Plan: Laughter is a way to release stress, reconnect with faith, and share joy with others.

The Wisdom to Laugh

There is a time to cry and a time to laugh. There is a time to be sad and a time to dance. - Ecclesiastes 3:4

Laughter is a special gift from God, a gift He intends for us to use. Yet sometimes, because of the inevitable stresses of everyday living, we fail to find the fun in life. When we allow life's inevitable disappointments to cast a pall over our lives and our souls, we do a profound disservice to ourselves and to our loved ones.

If you've allowed the clouds of life to obscure the blessings of life, perhaps you've formed the unfortunate habit of taking things just a little too seriously. If so, it's time to fret less and laugh more.

Today, look for the humor that surrounds you— when you do, you'll find it. And remember: God created laughter for a reason, and Father indeed knows best. So laugh!

“If you could choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor." - Jennifer Jones
