Dear Reader,
We will be short and sweet with our post today. I love the fact that it's Sunday. It has come to be one of my favorite days of the week this semester. Hopefully all you have a great day that rejuvenates you for the rest of the week.
Today I just want to recognize and salute all those hard-working people out there. Sometimes certain jobs can seem like they are not very fulfilling: custodial work, counting cans in a factory, facilities management, etc. I can't personally recognize everyone who has ever worked one of those jobs, I would like to recognize the guys who made my bike.
A bike showed up in a box on my doorstep yesterday. Upon taking it out of the box and putting it together, I had the very clear thought, "Man, I wish I could talk to the guy who made this bike and tell him how much I appreciate him. He probably thinks his job is lame sometimes. I want to let him know how much his job affects people's lives." To make a long story short, I am very grateful for those people who may not get a whole lot of fame and fortune from the daily job, but I am glad that they continue to do them on behalf of myself and all those who benefit from their work.
The call to action I make to you is simple. We should all take the time to thank the people who are doing their job well when we see them. It is not life-changing, but I like it when Missionaries at the MTC thank me for the work I do there. They don't know much about it, but they are grateful. We should all do that at least once a day.
