A Prayer For A Merry Heart

Father, thank you for friends that we laugh and cry with. Sometimes mistaken words can get us into serious trouble and other times they can produce a rumble of laughter. Help us to spread joy, laugh with others and also laugh at ourselves, for a joyful heart is like good medicine. A daily dose of it lightens our step and distracts us from the troublesome world in which we live and the daily burdens that can otherwise weigh us down. Amen.
