“Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It’s off to work we go.” But why? Necessity to put a roof over our heads? Pleasure as I love my job? Identity in that my work defines me – at least partially? Escape – things aren’t too good at home? How about a combination of any-to-all of these things? Why do we work? Why do you work? Why do I work?
One of our elders will be sharing this Sunday a bit about the history of Labor Day – which ironically, it is not. But more importantly, he will be sharing how the Bible elevates work. Christians work because it is one of God’s many taken-for-granted blessings He had gifted to us.
