Well, I don’t know about you all, but I think this thread could use some prayer. This thread has always been a nice respite from the heavy, heavy issues of our day to day lives.

Because, let’s be honest, this thread is 25% AI and 75% us trying to crack each other up, this prayer has always made me think of this thread. I’ve posted it before a couple of seasons ago.

The Clown’s Prayer
As I stumble through this life,
help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more cheer than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.

Never let me become so indifferent,
that I will fail to see the wonders in the eyes of a child,
or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.

Never let me forget that my total effort is to cheer people
make them happy, and forget momentarily,
all the unpleasantness in their lives.

And in my final moment,
may I hear You whisper:
“When you made My people smile,
you made Me smile.”
