Good and Gracious God,

You created human beings in Your image and likeness and gave us dominion over creation to be stewards of the land and co-creators of Your Kingdom.  Jesus, You became one of us and labored as a carpenter. You ask all people ,whatever our state of life, to follow you faithfully.  Holy Spirit, bless all workers this Labor Day. May all our actions be  animated by Your love, as we do all things for the glory of God. Amen.
