Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
-Jesus
A blessed labor day to you, a day for resting in Christ alone … A day for:
Wind-blown hair in the rumble-seat …
Lifting up arms and enjoying the ride…
Peaking in on ice-cream almost ready…
Getting every last lick…
A day for chomping cherries…
A day for long naps…
Labor day is for BBQs and no stove to scrub. For paperplates and no dishes to wash. For chalk on driveways and ketchup on fingers. For sitting long and laughing loud. For remembering, in it all, that it is finished. {Which is the reason we labor, and the reason we rest.}
Happy Labor Day. For laboring through life with me in this little space … thanks.
