ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
FOR WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1ST, 2020
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.
80 DAYS UNTIL SUMMER

Life is a special occasion!!

Today is April Fool’s Day which is a day to beware of practical jokes, pranks and tricks.
Although it’s been celebrated for hundreds of years, no one really knows how the April Fools tradition began. According to one theory when France officially adopted the Roman calendar in the 1500’s many rural communities continued to celebrate New Year’s Day in April. The people in these small villages became known as the April fools.
To celebrate April Fool’s Day, play a trick and watch out for pranks played on you !
If you can’t see the bright side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.
William Shakespere
Our April fools joke is no joke for sure, we’re having another month of lock down. Self distancing will continue until May. Who knows what we’ll come to after that. This is still an unknown enemy.
It’s no laughing matter and a cruel joke on all of us. Hopefully, this will resolve itself soon. I keep praying for the safety of all. We can only try to do the best we can with what what we got..
I’m so thankful I’ve not had to go out for anything in well over 3 weeks now, my children are doing a great job of making sure that I’ve got what is needed, plus I’ve had an added treat of bean soup two weeks in a row now! Great minds think alike!
I am at a loss for pictures today so Im posting random picture take in April from other years. No rhyme or reason.
I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wenesday!

Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY

Happy April Fools Day !
That's an interesting story about the origins of April Fool's!
I ventured out to Wal-Mart this early morning and folks were careful to observe social distancing. Most shoppers (like me) were wearing masks/scarves and/or gloves, but I was surprised to see none of the store's associates were afforded PPE of their own. At the end of the day, all we can do is pray. xoxo!
Haven't played any April Fool's jokes or had any played on me. I forgot about it until I saw your blog post :) We are sheltering in place until the end of April too. I'm hopeful with the warm weather the virus will die off as I heard it possible could with the warmer weather. Let's say a prayer about that!
