WHY WE CELEBRATE LABOR DAY


September 6, 2021

Our Country has set aside the first Monday in September as Labor Day.  This year it falls on Sept. 6, 2021.  We take this time to Celebrate the long history of Workers in America.

Adam Smith wrote, "Labour was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.  It was not by gold nor silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased."

Labor Day is set aside for us to recognize, honor, and celebrate the farmers, ranchers, builders, explorers, adventurers, scientist, doctors, nurses, researchers, architects, and many more who left their Comfort Zones to better the lives of all Mankind.

Our Founding Fathers fully understood the God Given Rights of Freedom, Liberty and Property.  Their Vision was to create a Government that supported and protected those God Given Rights.  In their success, an Environment was created in America that unleashed the Spirit of Man to fully exercise those Rights.  The Spirit of Man then went forth with a Desire and Fortitude to reach for their Dreams, Personal Visions, and Beyond.  And with this came a Desire to be Inspired by Faith in their Creator.

Because of the New Environment or The Great Experiment of America, in its first 50 years of existence, America became the Wealthiest and most Productive country on the face of the earth.  America became the Beacon to the World.  Why?  Because Our Founding Fathers successfully unleashed the Spirit of Man.  Americans moved with a force never seen before in the history of mankind.  Comfort Zones were Stretched and Expanded.  Dreams and Visions became a Reality.  The Creative Mind was encouraged.  The American Worker took Pride in their Labors.  And to Perform Labor became a Badge of Honor.

This is the reason why we take the time to Pay Tribute to the Great American Working Tradition on Labor Day.

May we all Pray to our God in Heaven that this Spirit of Man, the Spirit of America, will continue to go forth and reach higher and higher.

May God continue to Bless the United States of America!
