Today, the US celebrates the holiday of Labor Day. It is on this day that we celebrate those whose labors made this country during its more industrial times.

Thinking about this holiday this weekend got me to thinking about how we ceelbrate those folks in the Body who have labored in pioneering areas as well. Those folks whose sheer faith towatds something that many others didn’t see immediately was rewarded a long ways off, sometimes after their death.

I’d like to just put out there that there’s much work to be done all the time. But, we would do our Body a disservice if we didn’t take the time to reflect on the impact of that work on the lives of others. Some people might never get fame by name, only by the output of what they’ve put their hands and hearts towards. So, let’s remember to celebrate them. And find ways ourselves to allow work to be more than just what we do, but how we improve the faith and lives of those people around us.
