A Prayer for the Headlines, Monday, January 31

Good Morning, God
Lord, sometimes it is good to just take a break from serious stuff and laugh a bit or guffaw a lot!  Someone said one that "laughter is the best medicine".  Another said that we should save our energy and smile more because it takes fewer muscles and less effort to smile than to frown.
Lord, it is healthy when we can laugh at the follies or tongue-in-cheek witticisms or cartoon panels that tickle our funny bones.  It is good when we can laugh at ourselves.  And, Lord, we can even laugh at cartoons that somehow tie back to some of your biblical stories.
So, Lord, may we begin today being more willing to laugh at ourselves and to see the humor in situations and to decide to bring more joy into our conversations.  There are many things today we will have to seriously face, but there will also be times when a bit of joviality will help.  As the song says, "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down"!.  Let us laugh - a lot!
In Jesus name, Amen
