Labor Day

Did you know the first Labor Day celebrated was in New York City, September 5, 1882?

By definition Labor Day “is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

You might think that your work goes unnoticed, but it does not.  God knows all and sees all, and that means He sees you…

“So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.” Galatians 6: 9-10 NRSV

Happy Labor Day Everyone! Enjoy this day to be with your families and friends. I know that I’m going too!
