The miracle is not that we do the work but that we are happy to do it.
Mother Teresa

Dear God, as we celebrate a day off from work, let us celebrate work with whole hearts, a full belly, and belief in the American dream. You provide the opportunities, O Lord, for us to work and get ahead, to provide for our families, and to make this nation strong by the work of our hands, our heads, and our hearts. God bless American workers.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us and prosper for us the work of our hands— O prosper the work of our hands! Psalm 90:17

May you be blessed to spend this holiday in tribute to the workers who make our country prosper.

THE LABOR OF OUR HANDS

By Rachael Jones

The good work that truly impacts another is only as good as the internal work overflowing from the laborer. I’m not talking spa days and naps here, though these opportunities have their benefits.

I’m talking about paying attention to those areas inside that need real change, care, and healing. We know they’re there, weighing us down and robbing us of joy.

Dealing with these issues takes intention, and I believe that starts with honesty, humility, and stepping out of the hustle for a moment.

That’s what we’ll be doing this Labor Day, trusting that in addition to rest and recreation, any weeds of discouragement and defeat will be identified and pulled up to make room for the good fruit to grow that can be shared with others.

Right now is the perfect time for us as a family to get away and ask God to direct our path and continue to bless and establish the labor of our hands.

Happy Labor Day!
