Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Labor Day is always the first Monday in September. Dedicated in honor of the worker, it is also appropriately called the workingman's holiday. The holiday is dedicated to you in respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home. As long as you work somewhere at something, this holiday is for you!
Many people celebrate this weekend with one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up the pool, and put away the boats.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The difference between work and play is only a matter
of attitude. Work, fully done, is play.
Gerald G. May
Labor Day is a celebration of the end of summer here at my house. Summer has been showing us just how hot it can get around here, so it’s definitely still in full swing, at least for a few more days.
I like to think that there is no greater joy than that of a Labor of Love, so while I don’t go out to work each day anymore, there are many little things I do love to do and those are what I call my labors of love.
The picture above is the view out my kitchen window where I can see the Rose of Sharon bushes in full bloom. They are a welcome sight each day.
Happy Labor Day everyone ! I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week! Happy Monday!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Heaven is blessed with perfect rest but the blessing of earth is toil.
Henry van Dyke
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3106. for an end of summer celebration
3107. for salads and sandwiches, my favorite meal these hot days
3108. for beautiful summer days to remember
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Life should be not only be lived, it should be celebrated !
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma

How pretty with the Rose of Sharon blooms :) So true how Labor Day is the day that summer seems to end, even though it still has a few more weeks on the calendar. I cab definitely get a hint of fall weather in the mornings here :)
