Happy Labor Day friends!
I keep seeing the meme of telling your kids to let you rest for the number of hours you were in labor with them...🤣
Real talk: parenting really is a labor of love.
Marriage is a labor of love.
Facing your fears, doubts & pain is a labor of love to yourself and to others.
Living out your purpose is a labor of love.
But just like labor....you go through all the pain and work, and in the end, you also get to see, feel and experience a joy that is so overwhelming and indescribable.
But before that overwhelming joy, the work had to come first. The pain had to come first.
If you do get the privilege of seeing some or all of the outcomes, you will know it is SO WORTH IT. And even if you don't get to see them, what you get to experience on the other side of laboring and overcoming is already worth it.
May you rest and refuel today however way that looks for you so that you can continue running the race and purpose ahead with love, strength and endurance.
