Creator of all humanity, The work of government is an ongoing responsibility of representing and serving
the people. The work can sometimes feel daunting, and without end. There is always more than can be done, new issues that arise, another meeting to go to.
A Jewish sage once taught: "It is not your responsibility to finish the work, but you are not free to desist from it either."
Alone, each of us can not finish all of the work that needs to be done. But when each of us picks up our share of the load, we move forward together, ever mindful,
that even when our work is done, there will be more to do for those who come after us, just as we picked up the load from those who came before us. May it be Your will 0 God, that we find meaning in our work, ever mindful of the
great responsibility that has been entrusted to us. Amen.
