Labor: Physical or mental exertion, especially when difficult or exhausting
Labor Day is traditionally a day when we remember all of those who work. They get a day off to be remembered and thanked for all of their efforts. But, who doesn’t work in one capacity or another? Let’s not leave them out:
For those who work in the home,
For those who take care of children
For those who care for an aging parent
For those who volunteer their time to serve the poor
For those who work each day trying to find ‘work’
For those who work at maintaining peace
For those who work at forgiveness
For those who work at remembering
For those who work at forgetting
For those who work at trying to love the ‘unlovable’
For those who work at trying to stay in a broken relationship
For those who work at trying to leave a broken relationship
For those who work at staying silent
For those who work at finding the words
For those who work to strengthen their faith when it is dark and dry
For those who work to bring others to God
Today we remember those who labor – today we remember all of us!
You know this is a good list. I am guilty with note remembering the true meaning of a holiday at times. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
