International Chocolate Cake Day

Reflection

“A party without cake is really just a meeting.” –Julia Child

Prayer

Joyous Creator,

Thank you for those boisterous spirits you put in our lives, who know just what to say and what buttons to push to lighten us up. When our work feels oppressive and the air becomes stifled, let there be someone among us who knows the importance of celebration—of acknowledging the little wins. May our toughness grow tender as the atmosphere cracks and a party breaks out, however meager or seemingly insignificant. Let our days be punctuated with sweetness and joy, as we continue extending your healing compassion. Amen.
