3 Day weekend

I wanted to give a little history lesson on what Labor Day is all about.Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country.All other holidays are in some way connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation.
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Rest is important, even God took a day off when he was creating everything. So enjoy your three day weekend, as I will and we will see you on Sunday.
Don't forget Sunday school at 9:30, worship 11:00 at Freedom and we're meeting for the Suns game at 4:30 at my house Sunday afternoon. See ya real soon!
