Partners in Mission:

Yesterday we celebrated our national Labor Day. A holiday intended to honor the physical work of our nation that has built our economy and our communities. Labor that takes a toll on the human body.

When I was a seminary student a professor reminded us of the Labor that human life requires. The Labor of a mother to deliver a baby. The labor of workers to erect a skyscraper. All of which takes a toll on the human body. And in Christ we have a God whose human body labors on the cross to deliver us salvation.

I pray this week you will take seriously those who labor in your midst. And acknowledge the labor you do in your community. We give thanks that God has given us this opportunity to serve. Also to honor those who labor in our midst.
