Reflection

“Life is to be enjoyed, not endured.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

Prayer

God of joy,

Your son Jesus proclaimed that he had come that we might have life and have it more abundantly. Give us the strength and spirit to appreciate the life you have given us. Inspire us that we might see our lives as something to celebrate and enjoy rather than merely endure. Fill us with your Holy Spirit that we might enjoy each day you give to us and increase our willingness to share our joy with others. In the name of the God who creates us all, we pray. Amen.
