hi
What do you guys think about the Biblical ground for having fun? I will give a prize to the person who can give the best example/verse from the Bible. I mean mainly having fun together, and just being happy.

And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worhty of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it... And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is my disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Matthew 10:38-39, 42
About Me
- Name: Becca
- Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
I am a Christian, which means that I am a wretched sinner. Jesus saved me from myself and has given me a new life in Him. It also means I'm going to Heaven *huge smile*. I am the oldest of 11 children, and even though I am gone I still love them. I used to be homeschooled. I am attending Grove City College in hopes of being able to teach Histry someday. Honestly, I want to teach more than History, I want to show the kids Jesus in my life and in the the story of the world. When I'm out at school I attend Providence Reformed Presbyterian, and I am so blessed to enjoy worship and fellowship there each week. I drink too much coffee. I love life. I really don't know what God has for me, but I know it's going to be glorfying to Himself.

Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
Joy is important. There have been studies done on a persons well being. If the person is in good spirits the majority of the time, the person tends to not get sick as often and live longer. Those in bitter spirits most of the time, experience sickness and disease more often than not. God knew this from the start. I mean come on, He created us. Of course He knew! Hence why a merry heart doeth good like a medicine, and a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Hey both Sean and Jeremiah have good points. The verse Jeremiah had was the verse that came to my mind first. I think that having a happy heart is important. It seems like sometimes there are activities, possibly having fun together, that promote a happy heart. The only thing to remember in those activities is that it needs to be honoring to God. I guess also you have to consider what you mean by happy. Anywho those are my thoughts!
