Consider labor’s spirituality | RELIGION NOTES

As you consider Labor Day, consider, too, the purpose and spirituality of your labor. Part of doing this is related to considering God’s purpose in the labor to create the universe. If the purpose is to celebrate the joy, perfection, beauty and wholeness of life, then how can we, as the result of that purpose be less than joyful, perfect, beautiful and whole? By expressing joy, perfection, beauty and wholeness in our labors, we honor God who has already honored us.
