A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, April 25th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, amid all the serious stuff in the headlines, there has been one headline that could tickle our fancy. Oh, it may not do so for everyone, but it has the potential of leading to some fun. Our headlines this week that may lead to fun is about the "disc golf" course that is planned for the 4-H Fairgrounds area. The planners say, "It is just like regular golf - only a player tosses a disc at baskets, rather than swinging a golf club at a little ball." If we use the usual  term for this, Lord, it is "Frisbee Golf," and it is amazing what a flick of the wrist , a little skill and a lot of luck will do for recreation and enjoyment.
Good God, you did make us to enjoy life and to live life in abundance. We often think of abundance in terms of how much money we can make, the possessions we can amass and how many vacations we can take to exotic destinations. However, Lord, abundance is also applied to the way we live our lives and the joys we have, the hopes we have, the smiles and good times we enjoy - and the recreation we play.
So, Lord, may we enjoy "Disc Golf - Frisbee Golf." All it takes is a flick of the wrist!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
