Let’s celebrate Easter with the rite of laughter.

Christ died and rose and lives.

Laugh like a woman who holds her first baby.

Our enemy death will soon be destroyed.

Laugh like a man who finds he doesn’t have cancer, or he does, but now there’s a cure.

Christ opened wide the door of heaven.

Laugh like children at Disneyland’s gates.

This world is owned by God, and he’ll return to rule.

Laugh like a man who walks away uninjured from a wreck in which his car was totaled.

Laugh as if all the people in the whole world were invited to a picnic and then invite them.

—Joseph Bayly, Psalms of My Life (David C. Cook, 2000)
