An elderly carpenter was ready to retire .He told his employer of his plans to
leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family.He would
miss the pay cheque, but he needed to retire . The employer was sorry to see his good
worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour 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 material. It was an unfortunate way to
end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer handed over the key of
the house to the carpenter - "This is your house, 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 a poorly built house.
So it is with us. We build our lives a day, at a time, often putting less than our best into the
building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. But we
cannot go back. Someone once said, "your attitude and the choices you make today, help
build the house you will live in tomorrow." Therefore, build wisely.
