For the Gift of Humor
Good Lord Giver,
Thank you for the gifts of humor and laughter. Of all the emotions we can experience, few are as impactful as the feelings that come as a result of laughter. Thank you for those who devote themselves to making a living by crafting jokes and telling funny stories. Thank you for friends with a sense of humor, the ones we can count on to pick us up after we’ve had a rough day. Thank you for the many different ways that humor and laughter can be expressed that appeal to different types of people. While we certainly could function and live without humor, it is just one more of the many blessings that reflect your underserved grace and demonstrate how much you delight in bringing joy into our lives. Use the joy we experience from humor to provide us with a foretaste of how truly joy-filled we will be in your presence for all eternity. Until that time comes, please continue to keep us laughing.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
