A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, December 21st

Good Morning, God,
Lord, the headlines are now often about the good holiday spirits that are brightening our lives and lightening our loads. Especially, it is a joyful thing to know of our young people who are giving of their time, smiles and conversations to bring some holiday cheer to folks in retirement and health care facilities.
These young men and women don't have to be prompted by thinking that it may be themselves sitting there someday. These teenagers don't have to be told by their parents or their teachers, "Go, do this, because it is your duty."
No, Lord, these kids go and visit and bring good cheer because of the spirit of goodness you have implanted in each heart, mind and soul. This time of the year "activates" this spirit, and the youth are moved to do their best good, lovely and loving thing.
Thank you. Lord, for the good and joy our young adults are bringing to our older adults.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
