THE LIGHT OF LAUGHTER
Have you ever felt stuck in the middle of a problem, where everything seems so dark and all-consuming that joy is pushed out and life feels bleak? Whether you're dealing with physical or emotional pain, or simply just hard times, the ability to experience the lighter side of life may seem like a distant memory.
Yet, humor can be a saving grace. It signals a frame of mind that includes hope, freedom, humility, even gratitude. Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of this magazine, saw the value of humor—so much so that when she started her monthly magazine The Christian Science Journal, she included a column on humor among the earliest issues.
