Bringing People Into The Caring Community Of Christ
September 1, 2010 "Labour Day" edition
To be added to our ComBap Update mailing list, contact the church office.
Hello ComBappers:
It's time, once again, to give a "high five" to our hard working members of society. Yes, it's Labour Day and, aside from being a great weekend for football, it's a time to think about the value of work and the issues around safe and meaningful work.
The Bible is quite clear on this: work is beneficial both to the worker and to society. Regardless of your job (aside from something illegal), there is God given value in what you are doing. In the little picture, you are earning money to feed/clothe/house yourself (and others). In the big picture, you are benefiting society by helping the economy and paying taxes (so that we can see the doctor without going broke... or are able to drive down a paved road...or are helping the less fortunate of the country).
Of course, back a hundred years or so, bosses/owners took advantage of workers, exploiting them simply as a resource to be used up, which spawned the labour movement and unions. Frankly, that was a wonderful progressive step.
Today, some would say that some unions now have too much power... but that's a debate for another day. We do need to be thankful for the work done to make the working man/woman able to perform their duties in a just environment.
Work rules! :)
Joell
