Here is a hand out for your youth ministry on the topic of laughter! Your students deal with a lot on a day to day basis, so make sure to remind them to take time out and just have a laugh. Get a group discussion going and crack some jokes!
Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
There’s no substitute for having a good laugh. Laughter is an excellent technique to develop a positive mindset. Take other people seriously and show respect, but take yourself lightly and not too seriously.
Life is amusing, and fun.
Life can be funny — can you?
