Labor Day 2022
Happy Labor Day 2022
Do you have any Labor Day plans?
Hopefully, you have the day off to celebrate with your family or friends.
My husband will be firing up the smoker to make something delicious.
He’s a famous grill master (at least at our house).
I’m in charge of the “side” dishes.
Seriously, an entrée without sides is like a day without sunshine, am I right ? 😉
Beyond those eagerly-looked-forward-to menu items, without question, we‘ll be flying our American flag at our front door.
With that in mind, on this Labor Day 2022, we’d like to express our thanks to the American workforce.
Hard-working men and women who labored for years to build this country from the ground up.
Brick by brick.
Stone by stone.
Their efforts, and more importantly, our Judeo-Christian heritage and faith in God are what made America great.
As we learn in the Book of Ecclesiastes, verse 9 and beyond, God is sovereign and He has set eternity in our hearts.
9What benefit is there for the worker from that in which he labors? 10I have seen the task which God has given the sons of mankind with which to occupy themselves.
God Set Eternity in the Heart of Mankind
11He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
12I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; 13 moreover, that every person who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—this is the gift of God.
– Ecclesiastes 3:9-13, (NASB).1
As we relax with family and friends this weekend, let’s also remember and rejoice in “His” work in our lives
Happy Labor Day!
