Joy-full Labor Day!



               Have you had your Joy Juice today?  It should not be a “labor” but instead a pleasure to drink in the sweet joy of the Lord! 

            (According to Wikipedia) “Labor Day in the United States is a public holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country. It is considered the unofficial end of summer.” So happy Labor Day and happy “end of summer”, friends! 

                All of us work, whether it’s inside or outside the home.  Some people even get paid to work. How blessed we are if we earn a salary for doing a job we really enjoy!  Writer, Debbie Holloway, says that “work can become a joy and a passion if it’s something you truly love and you’re surrounded by like-minded partners. Or, on the other hand, even a job you like can become a drudge if you can’t see eye-to-eye with your co-workers.”

                How true are those words! I’m sure most of us have experienced both kinds of situations.  If you are in a job that you enjoy, with colleagues that make going to work a pleasure, take the time to thank God for such a joy-gift.  If you deal with co-workers that are difficult, pray about that, as well.  We can’t change others, but we can ask God to intervene and change our hearts.  Who knows?  The changes in us may but instrumental in changing attitudes around us!

                May our Labor Day be filled with rest, refreshment and lots of joy.
