Certainly appreciated

It is Labor Day weekend! I like long weekends. I especially like the fact that we celebrate all the hard work that people do every day to provide us the food, safety, entertainment, and services that we enjoy without a thought. In my profession, we have people working around the clock every day to ensure safety and life, which is to be celebrated.

I am grateful to be able to work. I have been blessed with good health and the ability to physically go out and work. I am grateful to work where I work. I have been blessed with a good, stable, steady place of employment, where those I work for and those I work with truly are a family. It truly is a great place to work, the best.

Today's word is Proverbs 12:11, NLT, which reads, "A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense."

Where I work is a great place to work because everyone works. We have a staff that works - everyone doing his/her job for the betterment of the organization, which, in turn, makes it better for each and every person our services touch. All it would take is one person not pulling his/her weight, not doing his/her job, not working to make a major difference and to have a major negative impact on all those counting on us.

In celebration of Labor Day, I want to say thanks to all those out there doing his/her best to do a job. It may not be glamorous or exciting or celebrated but, know that it is certainly appreciated!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
