Not only has he sold us, but he has used up what was paid for us. Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you.””
Genesis 31:14-16 NIV

In our everyday living, laughter is almost a given, there are times where laughter is actually unavoidable. As a matter of
fact, the Bible prescribes laughter as “medicine”. King Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a time

who bear His name.
