Good Morning, God,
Lord who takes pleasure in our pleasures when they provide good, clean fun and enjoyment, we ask for your presence for our Strassenfest weekend. We ask for safety. We ask for pleasant weather. We ask for neighborliness. We ask for joy.
Lord, we wonder sometimes what your blessed once did for fun. We know Jesus attended a wedding, although he performed his first miracle there, so his attendance was also work. We know that Jesus attended dinner parties, but he had to work there, also, settling hurt feelings. We know that Jesus went camping and boating, but crowds followed him so much that he really had to search for lonely places so he could pray seriously to be recharged. We also know Jesus enjoyed walking and talking with friends, but his conversations seem to always leave us with something serious to ponder.
Lord, may we consider what Jesus did for enjoyment as we walk around Strassenfest these next few days.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
