Shared Laughter

"Our mouths were filled with laughter."

— Psalm 126:2

God of joy,

Shared laughter creates unique bonds. Those moments when we laugh together, when joy is contagious, when worries fly away for the time of a good laugh.

Thank You for these moments of shared laughter. For these instances of common lightness, for this joy that unites, for these happy memories created in laughter.

May I create more of these moments. Laugh with my loved ones, share joy, not take life too seriously. Laughter is a gift to cultivate.

Amen.

Reflection

With whom do you love to laugh? When did you last laugh together? Create an occasion to laugh together today.

For all those who have lost the ability to laugh and share joy.
