Reflection

“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” –Victor Borge

Prayer

Joyful God,

In these days of confusion and conflict, help us build bridges of laughter that can unite people. Forgive us for toxic speech and cranky complaints. Show us how to reclaim a space in the company of others, where the seriousness of our concerns never erodes the freedom and yes, even the delight, that comes from working together for the common good. Let laughter collapse the distance between us as we discover new ways to cooperate, collaborate, and brighten the days ahead. For the good of all we pray, Amen.

Call to Action
