As April Fools' Day Approaches

Let us close our eyes so that we might see.
As April Fools’ Day approaches:
we give thanks for the ability to laugh;
we give thanks for the ability to laugh at ourselves;
we pray for those who don’t have the ability to laugh at themselves;
we give thanks for people who don’t take themselves too seriously;
we hope that we don’t take ourselves too seriously;
we wish that people whose lives are filled with sadness, would find some gladness;
we pray for a day when all people will achieve happiness.
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
