Honor our breadwinners as they labor to provide for their families

Labor Day is considered a national holiday.  When my daughter was still in grade school, I used my time on Labor Day to be sure she had all the supplies she would need to start a new school year on the next day and was “good to go”.  I recently did a little research to find out when and why and by whom this holiday started.  Over 130 years ago, the Labor Unions then realized that the American workers contribute to the prosperity and well being of our country.  So, it is appropriate that we pay tribute to them on Labor Day.

The following scriptures acknowledge what God expects us to accomplish through our work ethics.
Paul said to the Thessalonians in 2 Thessalonians 3: 10, 11 –

“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this; If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.” For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies”. 

1 Timothy 5:vs. 8 – “But, if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Isaiah 58: vs. 7 – “ Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out.”

1 Corinthians 10: vs. 31 – “Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

Consider it a privilege to be part of the work force of America, rather by brain or by brawn.

I pray that all who read this are gainfully employed and are receiving sufficient compensation from their jobs in order to provide everything their family needs.  This will also enable them to help others who are not as fortunate.

May God bless you
