Thought for the Week: Dec 9, 2011

An encouragement for this week from "The Heart of the Artist” by Rory Noland:


Proverbs 17:22... says,
a cheerful heart is good medicine”
The artists who has lost their sense of humor can be the most miserable person around. Sometimes we can be too serious for our own good. Joy is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and laughter is indeed good for the soul. Have you ever wondered if God has a sense of humor? One visit to the zoo will tell you that God had a sense of humor & must have had a lot of fun creating the world. Jesus used plenty of humor in His teachings. What have you done for fun lately? Doing things that are enjoyable help to curb a negative attitude.

I can totally relate with being too serious a lot of the time. I always say it’s “business Stacey” coming out...and that can cause me & those around me some unneeded stress at times. So, I’m praying that if you are in need of a good dose of laughter and a light heart you will be blessed with that this week. Praying also that you will also plan something fun that you enjoy to do that will bring you joy this coming week as well! (Seriously...pull out your planner & schedule a time right now before you forget or your week gets filled up! : ) God loves to give good gifts to His children. (see Matthew 7:11)

Praying for you,
Stacey
