Good Morning, God
Amidst all of the trouble of these days, today marks a day that can be used for a bit of frivolity. Somehow, April 1st became April Fool's Day, a day where we should expect to be pranked and plan for a few pranks of our own. Everyone likes a good laugh; you gave us the gift of laughter, and your would says "A cheerful heart is good medicine!"
Lord, there is even some thought that April Fool's Day began in the Bible. Yes, it is told that Noah, when the great flood was coming to an end, sent the dove out too early, before the waters receded, and he did this on the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April!
Lord, may we have a bit of frivolity today. May we cheer our hearts with extra laughter. May we prank, but without causing problems. May we joke, but still get our jobs done. May we "lighten the load" with laughter, but still share our care and love. Thank you, Lord, for Noah and April Fool's Day!
In Jesus name, Amen
