Labour Day

Remember

Release from being "less than"

Unions have battled hard for workers

Feminism has battled hard for women

The advances have been real

But

Always new fronts in the battle

For those who are treated as "less than".

Who are today's "less than"?

--Migrant workers

--Sex trade workers

--Surrogate mothers

--The aborted ones

These are just a few of the world's "less thans".

Lord, You love each and every "less than"

Through You, the kingdom work comes

--Injustice is attacked

--Mercy and grace will flow.
