My coworker muttered this under his breath to me this evening.
“Why?” I replied, genuinely curious.
“People should show love everyday, we shouldn’t need a holiday to show someone we care.”
“Then why do we have birthday gifts and anniversary parties? Why do holidays even exist?”
Maybe because people deserve to be noticed, lives should be remembered and love ought to be celebrated.
It would be nice to show intentional love everyday. But life is crazy, it’s mundane, it slips by fast and before we know it the people we love the most get caught up in the ordinary, the daily.
So why not have a day to celebrate love? A day to single out the people that we love the most. A day to spoil those we care about. And a day to slow time down by being grateful.
A Hallmark holiday, sure, but after all it’s the heart that matters. We don’t need a holiday to show someone we care, but it helps to be reminded.
