A Prayer for the Headlines, Friday, February 4

Good Morning, God
The headlines say that today is Friday.  The question is, what will we do this weekend?  We often say "TGIF", thanking you for this day.  We do this usually because Friday is the last day of work for us this week, and Saturday and Sunday are the days we can "do what we want" or "catch up with other things".  This Sunday we might choose to take in everything abut the Super Bowl, making a long party out of Sunday.
However, Lord, Saturdays and Sundays are also days we can do things for other people.  We can be volunteers who clean up trash from along the road, take some young person bowling or to a movie as a big brother or a big sister.  We could be close to a telephone connected to the Crisis Connection line or to the Domestic Violence Hot Line.  We could even make a little extra food and take it to our neighbor who has been ill or down on his or her luck.
Lord, as we thank you for this Friday, may we be open to what you would have us do tomorrow and Sunday.
In Jesus name, Amen
