Verse of the day

A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:4

Voice of the day

It’s just easier to laugh than to cry. If I cry, I’ll cry alone. But if you laugh, we can do it together. I guess no one knows how strong they can be until it’s their turn to deal with tragedy.

Yusra Mardini, “Butterfly: From Refugee to Olympian, My Story of Rescue, Hope and Triumph”

Prayer of the day

In the sacred rhythm of weeping and laughter, help us find strength in shared joy and quiet courage in sorrow, knowing you are with us in every season of our grief and grace.
