ASHLEY WREN
Hi, my name is Ashley Wren and, my family and I are members of Central United Methodist Church. This coming Monday, September 3, we pause to celebrate Labor Day. Labor Day is a United States Federal holiday observed on the first Monday of every September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers.
In the third book of Colossians, Verses 23-24, the scripture tells us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
As a parent and a teacher, I think it is imperative to teach our children the importance of work and its rewards. Although many of us are receiving a three-day weekend or day off of work and are looking forward to it, it's crucial that we demonstrate pride and satisfaction with our career or specific trade towards our children. Our jobs are an extension of who we are, and our kids are watching and learning everyday. I feel that we should encourage our children to do everything possible to match their giftedness, passions, and abilities in their chosen career. Instilling a strong work ethic will not only help them, but will influence the future of our community.
We would love to see you this Sunday at Central United Methodist Church!
