☀️ Monday, September 7 | Labor Day Monday
Today is Labor Day — a day built around rest, but for a lot of you it does not feel restful.
There is laundry to catch up on. A house to reset before the week starts. Kids to get ready for school tomorrow. A holiday meant to honor work, often spent doing more of it — the irony is not lost on anyone who has tried to actually relax on a Monday off.
So let us reframe the day for a second.
Work is not a curse. It was part of the original design, before sin entered the world — God gave Adam a garden to tend in Eden itself. It is one of the ways we reflect a God who is Himself a worker, a builder, a maker of things.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — Colossians 3:23
Whatever you are doing today — even the laundry, even the errands, even the unglamorous reset before the week begins — you can do it as an offering instead of an obligation.
That does not make the to-do list shorter. It makes it holier. 🙏
