Labor Day


My daughter asked at dinner tonight, "Why do adults work all the time instead of play like kids do?" Good question! My answer was all about adults earning money for the things we need like a house, food, clothing, education and such. Now I remember that's the wrong answer. We work because we've been called to contribute, not to receive. We work because we are connected to one another and as such we are to help one another. Money was our invention...not God's.

So we'll have another discussion tomorrow night and we'll talk about what work and play really are...infact isn't that part of what we're supposed to remember on Labor Day?
