I celebrate Labor Day in a peculiar way. I mop my floors. Actually, I mop throughout the year, but I make a practice of doing that each Labor Day, in gratitude for having a floor to mop and the ability to mop it.
When I was a youngster, Labor Day marked the end of summer, more or less. We started back to school. We no longer wore white shoes because summer was over! We had other rules! If a lady wore a hat, she wore gloves. Girls and women never wore a hat at night. These things don’t seem important now, but they did then.
Labor Day! However you celebrate it, I hope it is a good day for you and is a day to remember that good, honest work is a blessing and we should be thankful for it. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, Ecclesiastes 9:10. Do and be the best you can do and be, so that when the day is done, you can be pleased with it.
