Labor Day Blessing

I wish for you a Labor Day of outer celebration and inner reflection.

May you feel the joy of being with family and friends
Smelling the aroma of a barbeque
Sharing favorite foods
Hearing the laughter of children enjoying the late summer sun
Embracing those who you wish you could see more often

May you feel the gratitude of the day
Blessing the farmers, truck drivers, factory workers, and store employees who helped bring the food to your picnic table
Realizing the contribution of the individuals whose labor helps you live days like today
Offering a short prayer that the near future will bring more opportunities for people to work

May today you feel close to your fellow man and woman as well as the Divine.
