For the Blessing of Humor
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the blessings of humor, smiles, and laughter. There is more than enough in this world that is either sad or serious, and humor provides a welcome and necessary break from it. In fact, we are so wonderfully made that smiling itself is tied to physiological benefits in our bodies and minds. Help us to smile more! Thank you for those in our lives who make us laugh, whether professionally or personally, as friends. Thank you for those with the gift of telling funny stories through books and movies. Keep us also from being drawn to humor that crosses the line by being offensive, unclean, or unkind. May our laughter, like anything else, always honor you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
