The good work that truly impacts another is only as good as the internal work overflowing from the laborer. I’m not talking spa days and naps here, though these opportunities have their benefits.
I’m talking about paying attention to those areas inside that need real change, care, and healing. We know they’re there, weighing us down and robbing us of joy.
Dealing with these issues takes intention, and I believe that starts with honesty, humility, and stepping out of the hustle for a moment.
That’s what we’ll be doing this Labor Day, trusting that in addition to rest and recreation, any weeds of discouragement and defeat will be identified and pulled up to make room for the good fruit to grow that can be shared with others.
Right now is the perfect time for us as a family to get away and ask God to direct our path and continue to bless and establish the labor of our hands.
Happy Labor Day!
