We honor those who labour this weekend. So, here’s to the men and women who: work long hours, serve and protect, go the extra mile, dig the ditches, stay on their feet all day, build, heal, teach, plant and harvest. You deserve our gratitude and honor! The prophet Isaiah and Jesus raise a concern though, both realize it’s possible to “…honor with our lips,” but to keep our hearts away from real honor. So then here’s to the men and women who labour, you deserve a living wage and not to be bankrupted just because you got sick. Your children deserve a quality education. Our teachers deserve the resources necessary to teach effectively. To those who serve and protect us, you deserve better training and more support. And to those who plant and pick our food, you deserve dignity, protection and life free from insult and exploitation by those you make rich. God’s formula for life is to make our lips and hearts agree.
