Labor Day
Reflection
“The best way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.” –Oscar Wilde
Prayer
Creator spirit,
The dignity of work often carries its own reward. We seem wired this way, so that good work fuels our sense of accomplishment and fills our life with purpose and meaning. May all people come to experience this blessing of meaningful work today, no matter what it is you have given them to do. We pray especially for those who are longing for work or otherwise feeling stuck in their work, that you would energize and encourage them through the support of colleagues and friends. Amen.
Call to Action
As I celebrate Labor Day today, be mindful of those in my life who are struggling with their relationship to work. Be an encouraging voice to them.
