 ~*~

May peace and rest embrace you

On this Labor Day;

How fervently you labor,

Faithful are you to the Way.

 

Throughout our great Nation

Our workers we celebrate;

Yet let us not forget also

The One who does create.

 

Always at His work

Is our dear Father above;

Unceasing He is in His mercy,

Limitless in His love.

 

With hearts of rejoicing,

Let us praise the Holy One;

Glory and honor belong

To the Father, Spirit and Son.

 

God gives the power to work,

He gives also the gift to rest;

He works all things for our good,

Indeed all things for best.

 

My brother, sister and friend,

How grateful I am for you;

Our Father gives us strength

For all the work we do.

 

Brother, sister, one and all,

Come and rejoice with me;

Rest and refresh on Labor Day,

Lift songs for God’s glory.

 

For unceasing is His labor,

He is Life, the Truth, the Way;

Let us embrace the rest God gives

On this Labor Day.

    Oh Caroline, what a wonderful reminder to rest and refresh today! Sometimes we, or me anyway, get caught up in our to-do lists that we forget to take a break.
    I also have never thought about God not resting…that may sound silly but it never accorded to me that God is always working because of me and us! He rested on the 7th day and has been at it every since. What a humbling thought!
    Thank you!

      Such an encouragement you are, sweet Lisa!

      I pray you rest, refresh and revitalize this Labor Day! Know that you – and your labors – are a blessing to me and to many!

      Praise God for His ceaseless labor and His limitless love!

      Gratefully co-laboring with you for HIM, :)
