April Fool’s Day

April Fool’s Day

Reflection

“Mix a little foolishness with your prudence: It’s good to be silly at the right moment.” –Horace

Prayer

Joyful Spirit,

There’s a lot of wisdom in a culture that chooses to make space for a bit of silliness and a lot of laughter. Thank you, sincerely, for those people in our lives and ministry who know how to mix the right dose of foolishness into the course of our days. Not in ways that jeopardize our convictions or the seriousness of our work, but in ways that paradoxically make it all worthwhile. On April Fool’s Day, we are happy to remember that life really is sweeter when we make room for a healthy amount of humor and giggles. Amen.
