Labor Day Honors the Workers

To this day it still makes me smile at the thought of Labor Day.

Growing up my dad had us kids believing that Labor Day was the last weekend of the summer

to "get all your laboring chores done" so we worked hard to finish up any undone projects.

Labor Day honors the contribution of workers in every field to maintain our country's strength and prosperity.

The Bible makes it clear we are to work, and it is a blessing to enjoy our labor.

Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

What gain has the worker from his toil?

I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with, He has made everything beautiful in its time.

I perceived that there was nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live.

Find joy in each day.

But....

John 6:27

Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you.

Whatever your work may be, put God in the center.

Commit your work onto the Lord and your plans will be established.

Whether you work or play this Labor Day do it for the Lord.

Until next time, Pam

Faithful

By Pam Weinreis • April 29, 2026

It seems like all we hear or talk about is the trouble in our lives or our nation’s division. Augustine had asked two questions of the world; “If there is no God, why is there so much good? If there is a God, why is there so much evil?”

Familiar

What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Lent

It is day sixteen of war between Russia and Ukraine. “War can drive us all into the wilderness. Missiles drop, and we drop to our knees. We are a world wildly looking for a way out. We’re a hurting world, desperately fleeing – we see it all over our news screens.” (Ann Voskamp)
