Have a Good Special Day

It seems like every day is a special day to celebrate something or someone.  Last week I noticed a lot of happy wishes on social media for National Daughter Day and then for National Son Day.  I was unaware of either day prior to last week.  One of my favorite social media posts was shared by several friends in several different ways on National Son Day.  Paraphrased, it said, “my parents forgot that today was National Son Day and also forgot who determines which Nursing Home they get to live in later in life.”  I’m not sure where these national observances were created but I suspect Hallmark Cards had something to do with them.  Then, as I wrote this issue of “Morning Manna” I noticed that the day was National Coffee Day to be followed by International Coffee Day. Hands down, I vote for Tim Hortons Coffee, preferably consumed in a coffee shop in Vancouver, Canada while eating a Canadian Maple Donut.  It just seems like where you are has a lot to do with how well you enjoy the day.  However, my all time favorite day is, “This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). So, have a good day . . . Whatever you are celebrating today.
