Some behaviors are inherently attractive. Laughing and dancing make life worth living! They always draw a crowd! Weeping and mourning, on the other hand, are largely avoided. No one wants to do them.
You may have been raised to believe (especially if you were a man) that you should avoid weeping. That it was a sign of weakness. You may, therefore, feel awkward every time an occasion seems to call for it. You might also have been reared in a church that taught that if you honored God, you would have no cause to weep. Times of weeping may seem to you like admitting spiritual defeat.
Scripture teaches that there are certain seasons in life that call for weeping and mourning. They are a natural part of life. In fact, we may not be fully experiencing life if we never have cause to weep. We might have wrongly avoided situations that were painful so we could abstain from weeping. Attempting to live life without tears is no way to live!
Some of us need to be reminded that it is also important to have times to laugh. We may have become so consumed with our work, that we have not noticed how long it has been since we laughed. Laughter and dancing are crucial for a healthy, full, meaningful life. Make sure you never go too long without laughter peeling from your home!
