The Gift of Laughter

Three women laughing together

Reflect

Jesus wanted us to have joy, and often, laughter is a part of that. Yet it can be so elusive. Think of the most recent times where you have laughed. Where were you? Who were you with? Can you feel the beauty of the Spirit there?


Pray

God, help me notice when I am laughing,
so I can point my heart straight towards you.
It’s easy to be distracted by despair.
To come to you only in turmoil.
But you desired joy for us, and so today, if there is laughter,
I promise I will linger there, and let the laughter last
even longer.


Act

Do you have a particular friend with whom you always laugh? Take some time to reach out to them today, and let them know how much you value their connection.
