ARE YOU BUILDING YOUR
LIFE?
An elderly carpenter was ready to
retire. He told his employer-contra
ctor of his plans to leave the house
building business and live a more
leisurely life with his wife enjoying
his extended family. He would miss
the paycheck, but he needed to
retire. They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his
good worker go and asked if he
could build just one more house as
a personal favor. The carpenter said
yes, but in time it was easy to see
that his heart was not in his work.
He resorted to shoddy workmanship
and used inferior materials. It was
an unfortunate way to end his
career.
When the carpenter finished his
work and the builder came to
inspect the house, the contractor
handed the front-door key to the
carpenter. “This is your house,” he
said, “my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If he
had only known he was building his
own house, he would have done it
all so differently. Now he had to live
in the home he had built none too
well.
The plaque on the wall says,
“Life is a do-it-yourself project.”
Who could say it more clearly? Your
life today is the result of your
attitudes and choices in the past.
Your life tomorrow will be the
result of your attitudes and the
choices you make today.
