Labor Day

Reflection

“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Prayer

Lord of labor,

As we celebrate Labor Day, we ask you to send your blessing upon all those who labor. Keep us mindful of the contribution the labor of others makes in and to our lives. Open our eyes and minds to recognize that labor is an important way we participate in your ongoing act of creation. May our labor, when joined to that of others, help to advance your kingdom. In thanksgiving, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to give thanks for the labor of all those who, known and unknown, contribute to my life through their work.
