An Advent prayer for joy.

Laugh out loud,

For God is near.

Emmanuel with us and in us,

And with it come belly laughs of sheer joy.

Uncontainable,

Irrepressible,

Overflowing into dance and tears.

To breathe in this joy is to touch the fabric of heaven,

Of life itself.

The preciousness of human interaction,

The sacredness of the infectious,

Contagious joy of heaven to earth breaks through.

Pour over me this joy again and again and again,

That I may revel in it and you forever.

Amen and amen.

Amen.
