Don't be an "April Fool!" on April 1st or any day!
[Warren’s addendum to CedarS Met and PSSTs for the “Unreality” lesson]
Did you know that the first "April Fools" were called this name in 1582? They were being ridiculed by the general French populace because these "April Fools" continued to celebrate New Year Day on April 1st instead of on January 1st as ordered by King Charles IX with his newly imposed Gregorian calendar. (wilstar.com/holidays/aprilfool.htm) This year we could easily chose to celebrate New Year day the day after Easter? According to God's calendar, "Every day will be an Easter Filled with benedictions new!" (CS Hymnal 171) We will never be fools when we choose to follow “God's calendar” and obey what he puts in our hearts, instead of what hearsay or news reports, heredity or medical reports, try to tell us. Never buy any lie! (Misc. 117:22) CedarS Founder, Ruth Huff, trained her children and grandchildren well to “never buy a lie” by calling us on every April 1st with some inventive and humorous absurdity (like “There is a horse running down Weidman Road!… By the way, it’s purple…) in order to train us to see life with a twinkle in our eyes and a “sorting hat” on our heads.]
