Labor Day


     Labor is usually thought of as work done for monetary compensation.  We all appreciate people who work for a living so their families are supplied with basic needs.  Most people want to work, hopefully at something that is satisfying, but if not, at something that pays the bills and creates a feeling of accomplishment of earning your own way. No one wants to be unemployed, worrying about the bills stacking up.
     Another type of labor is not compensated with wages but is a labor for life.  Everyone has a mother who went through pregnancy, labor, and childbirth, and then cared for us during our early years.  Today many mothers go through both kinds of labor, one that creates a child and one that provides a paycheck.  Fathers also labor at work and at home.
     Thank you for all the work you do especially for the labors of love.  Here's hoping the unemployed will soon obtain work and have more to celebrate next Labor Day.
