Reflection

“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” –Victor Hugo

Prayer

Giver of Life,

We are ready for winter to pass. It’s been especially harsh in more ways than one, and it shows on so many faces. We’ve had pain and sorrow, challenge and adversity. We have faced a cold world as best we know how and are anxious for signs of new life, for days that are warmer. As we look for signs of transition, help us each play our part in becoming the change that we long for. By your spirit within us, through our laughter and hope, joy and thanksgiving, let our lives become symbols of spring—fresh and beautiful and bubbling with life. For the life of the world, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Do not underestimate the transformative power of laughter. Give space for humor to spread warmth and life in my work beside others today.
