Today is Labor Day, but no one is laboring except the women who are doing the cooking!! :) It is a national holiday, and families are enjoying times of relaxation, feasting and fellowship! It is a blessing to be with loved ones on special days and times of leisure, but it is also a great blessing to be able to labor. Ecclesiastes 5:10 says: "The sleep of a labouring man is sweet."
There are many people today on beds of affliction who would love to be able to join you as you plan to return to your place of labour tomorrow. So be grateful for your employment, your health, and for the wisdom and knowledge needed for your particular job. But, as you return, perhaps it would be well for all of us, as we end this labor day, to remember God's commandment:
"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. . . . Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."
"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord."
--Psalms 122:1
