Humor Zone
A happy heart makes the face cheerful...the cheerful heart has a continual feast...A cheerful heart is good medicine. (Prov. 15:13, 15; 17:22)
Here are some reasons to smile. Perfect for personal enjoyment, or to lighten up that otherwise drab church meeting. Use these in your sermons and training. Also great content to add to your kids church lessons! People who are smiling are learning as well!
NOTE: There are a lot of wholesome things we can laugh about - please limit submissions to those things which are related to children's ministry or kids or family or church even if it is a bit of a stretch. And please use wisdom. Humor should build up, never cut down or hurt. (Rule of thumb: if everyone will think it is funny!)
