"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle, and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light."
As we celebrate the holiday, we call Labor Day, we think of the American worker, who has toiled tirelessly for the betterment of family and country. Today, however, we find ourselves living in more and more precarious situations. Moms parenting children and grandkids while still out working, dads doubling down with multiple jobs, singles and elderly juggling the budget to keep a roof over their head, those pushing off retirement for fear of the unknown, the prospect of becoming a caregiver, the lists goes on. Hear the words of Jesus, calling to those who are His to come find rest in Him. Come today, take His yoke, and lay your burdens down at His feet.
