hmmm…..
Card companies love those holidays that they have essentially created out of their own imaginations. For example, Bosses Day, which is officially today. It is an outgrowth of the popular holiday (at least at card stores) Secretary’s Day. It also comes on the heels of Pastor Appreciation Sunday, another holiday designed to sell cards. Now, I am not saying that bosses, secretaries and pastors don’t deserve our appreciation, they do. But do they warrant an annual holiday?
I know of someone else who does. What about a Big Boss holiday? It could catch on; only trouble is, the postal workers wouldn’t know where to mail all those cards. That is because the Big Boss of all of us doesn’t have a physical address.
Actually, people have been sending cards and writing letters to God for eons. Take for example the Psalmist who wrote 150 letters to God. I like Psalm 138 which in part says: “I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.”
Sure, give thanks and appreciation to your boss, your secretary, and your pastor. Buy them a card, send them a gift. They deserve it. But today and everyday is a great day to show appreciation and to say thank you to our Big Boss.
