Good Morning, God
A great majority of us are off of work today, God. We are off of work celebrating what we call “Labor Day”. Sounds sort of oxymoronish, doesn’t it God! But here we are with most of government, business and school shut down for a day especially designated to honor the ability we have to labor: to imagine, to design, to construct, to produce and to maintain products and services that we need in order to live each day on this planet. It is our labor that keeps us alive, Lord God, and we give you thanks for the innumerable ways that we can work.
Some of us work with our heads, some with our hands. Some of us entertain others of us: some of us work helping others of us cope with what life throws at us. Some of us are working today to keep things going and our corner of the world safe. Yet some of us are crying for work, so this day is bitter sweet.
Gracious God, who gave us minds to think and hands to do and hearts to care, may all we do help others, give gory to you and demonstrate our love toward others.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
