That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
1 Timothy 4:10 NIV

A strong positive thought on this day of rest before we all return to work and school tomorrow—remember that honest hard work is never labored in vain.
