Have you thanked someone for their labor?

This was originally posted last year, but still the message remains:

Joy in the Morning, gives us the background and history of Labor day. She says:

Labor Day may now seem like just another holiday, an extended weekend, or the end of summer vacation. But, how about a time of thankfulness, for the jobs we have to sustain our family incomes, and for the many workers, be it doctors, firemen, police officers, nurses, garbage men, postal workers, farmers, truck drivers, etc. who make it possible for us to be protected, and have the daily needs and wants of everyday life.

Today I want to say thank you to my brother, who goes out everyday to protect and serve. This was not easy on an older sister to have a little brother who wanted to be a Police officer, but I want to tell him how proud I am of him. Thank you for your hard work and making a difference in your community.

  2. Thank you for sharing this. :)

    Little did I know we’d appreciate even more as my DH spent 1/2 the day in ER with a kidney stone!

    Thanks again. ~~Loni

  3. You know, we get so caught up in having a long weekend I think lots of us forget what this holiday’s really all about.

    So I’d like to thank your brother, too.
