Labor Day normally marks the end of summer
and the start of another school year.
This holiday also reminds us that Thanksgiving
and Christmas are just around the corner. Where
does the time go...
Most people are aware that Labor Day is a national
holiday, but not many realize it was once observed
as Labor Sunday, dedicated to the spiritual and
educational aspects of the labor movement? How's
that for a little trivia?
The sad thing is so much has changed in the way this
great country of ours now believes and lives.
Back in 1882 when president Grover Cleveland passed
legislation marking Labor Day a National holiday, we
hadn't taken prayer out of the workplace, or out
of school. We still believed In God We Trust. We
still believed in one Nation Under God.
I pray that each of us has a wonderful three day
holiday this week-end and that each of us reflect
on the bounty of goodness God has shed on America.
We as Americans have drifted so far from what our founding fathers established as a godly nation. The laws that were meant to protect the CHURCH FROM the STATE have been used by many to claim that the STATE should be protected FROM the CHURCH.
ReplyDeleteThe Ten Commandments have been removed from their prominent places of honor. Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance were stopped and school violence has drastically risen as a result.
Textbooks used to be derived from the Bible and now teachers are prohibited from mentioning the Bible.
God help us to see the error of our ways. Help us who are called your children to stand up and speak for the true.
