Why do we celebrate Labor Day? Some who don’t know may say it is when you celebrate all the mom’s who have “been there done that” if you know what I mean. Others have no clue, they think it is just a last “hurrah” of summer. Of course, I know, (living with a union man) it is a day we celebrate the working people of America. And I salute my husband for working over 30 years as a welder in a factory. He deserves that one day to sit back, relax and enjoy the day. Soooo, we had the grandkids overnight! You talk about “Labor!” So what did I learn this Labor Day? See the world through the eyes of a child. I gave the kids each a shoe box and I said “Let’s hunt for cool things to put in your box.” So off they went. What an awesome time to see the world as they see it. A locust shell hanging from the tree who neither wanted to touch until maw maw did. Yuk! A pine cone half eaten by a hungry little critter. Assorted leaves, grape, apple, plum, maple. And a rock. So let’s add another bit to this scenerio. But why did the locust leave the shell? Why did the critter eat half a pine cone? Why are there so many different leaves? After all the question asking from these 2 little people, I thought, yeah God, why? This little adventure made me stop and say “Wow God, You are awesome!” I need to stop once in a while and smell the proverbial flowers, and see the world from the viewpoint of a child. It makes me appreciate the world I live in and now I realize why God stood back on the sixth day and said, “Indeed this is very good!”
