Whether life is dealing you more than your share of burnt toast or you having a woe-is-me kind of day, there are times when laughing just isn't on your list. There is no question that there are high stress days when it seems like the world has dumped on you -- whether you lost your job, dealing with illness, spilled milk, or a multitude of other things. Why should you laugh? And, what exactly can you do to knock yourself out of the doldrums and put the twinkle back into your eye?
We know that laughing makes a multitude of good things happen physiologically to the human body, it not only makes us feel better, makes us healthier, and helps bridge relationships. It can help make tough times a little easier and help us to cope. Interestingly, over 3/4 of terminally ill patients said they wished their family members and caregivers used more humor. Here's some tips to help spark up and hone your funny bone.

- Take your biggest aggravation (whether a thing, situation or person) and give it a funny name.
- Be silly--think absurd; stretch your thoughts; how would re redefine a situation comically?
- Start your collection of funny things--favorite jokes, bubbles to blow, a crazy tie or whatever lifts you up. Look around you for the funny.
- Instead of dessert at your dinner table, have a family funny- each telling something that happened, they saw, or experienced that day. A great training for seeing life's sunny side.

No matter how advanced our lives are today, we cannot deny the fact that we still need God in our lives. Maranatha Bible Camp as one of the enormous christian retreat centers in nebraska, offers a place for everyone to enrich their faith. Despite the abundance of blessings that we receive, they will never be possible if God did not let it flow to us.
Now is the chance to give back the honor to God. Visit us at the camp and notice how your life will change the moment you leave.
