Thanks over Pranks—a Gratitude/Service Idea for April Fool’s Day

Give Thanks over Pranks—a service idea from FamilyFED.com

I’d originally planned a game for April Fool’s Day, but I just keep thinking that instead we may all benefit from spreading some joy today through expressing gratitude.

Let’s focus our April Fool’s Day on #ThanksOverPranks!

Find someone whom you can thank today. Consider using this image and texting it to a friend or posting it on social media and tagging someone you want to thank!
