Many adults have lost the ability to play. We are too serious and anxious, and it is harming our health and our communities.

When you're faced with some sort of heaviness, you can ask yourself the Three L's:

1. Where is the Lord in this?
2. Where is the Lesson in this?
3. Where is the Laughter in this?

God made our bodies to revel in fresh air, laughter, and movement. Play is healing. Laughter is healing. Celebrate God's goodness by doing something fun.

And next time you're facing a hurdle, look for the humor in it, and find a way to laugh about it. It will help you feel better and lighter, and it will have the same effect on those around you.
