Reflection

“The person who can bring the spirit of laughter into a room is indeed blessed.” –Bennett Cerf

Prayer

God of joy,

We know there will be pain and sadness in many of the rooms that your people will enter today. We pray, therefore, for our ministry’s caregivers serving at bedsides, that they may be gifted to bring peace and compassion to all those they serve. To the extent possible, let them also share your spirit of joy, even in some of the hardest circumstances. For all our sake, may we celebrate needed moments of levity and laughter with grateful hearts. Amen.

Call to Action

Sensitively and authentically welcome more cheerfulness into my work and ministry today.
