Reflection

“Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources, which must be preserved at all cost.” –James Thurber

Prayer

God in our joy,

Empower us to stand out as joyful people, full of good humor. Not in denial of the misfortunes we see, but as a demonstration of our resilience and our hope that you will bring to fruition every seed of kindness and love that’s been planted by the many who believe in a harvest to come. With all seriousness, help us treasure our capacity for humor and respect our laughter as a sign of your spirit of freedom bubbling up in our midst. Amen.

Call to Action
