Yes I know. Labor Day's past. But isn't every day LABOR DAY? Whether we labor for a salary or labor non-salaried...we labor....even if you are "retired"...I am sure you too labor. So much for defending my topic!
The reflection I'd like to share is from Sr. Genevieve Glen as she reflected on labor: "Work was woven into the human fabric from the start. We first see God busy about what Genesis calls the work of creation. The climax of God's creative work was human beings, created in the image of that very
same God. Entrusted with the care of everything just made or set in a garden rich in fruit trees, the first human beings were also intended to be creative workers, cultivating the future God had built into all living things....Our work's content does matter, of course, but what matters more is what truth it tells about us, what relationships it serves, what fruit it bears. Does it reveal the image of god or a self writ large? Does it weave bonds or tear them asunder?"
You see why I wanted to share LABOR DAY with you. We have a few good questions to ponder and reflect about our labor.
Blessings...........
