How could you be playful in showing love to others today?
I never thought of Jesus as being playful in the Gospel of John, but that is the picture painted by one of the brothers in today's video. John's gospel does take on a very different tone than the other synoptic gospels, so there is no reason why Jesus could not be seen as playful. I think that for me what this calls to mind is to not take myself so seriously, to allow that playfulness to come out. I do have a playful side and it comes out in certain situations, but can I let that out more often? Can I let go of the serious in order to let the fun in? I think that I do a pretty good job at carefully balancing the two but perhaps I could do better at showing it to others.
Lord, help me to let my playfulness shine forth, allow me to let go for a bit to embrace the fun, so that I may be a better reflection of your love and light. Amen.
