An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer about his plan to leave

the house building business and live more leisurely life with his family. He would

miss the pay cheque, but he really 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.

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 differently! Now he had to live in a poorly built house. So it is

building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If

we could do it over we would do it much differently but, you cannot go back. You are

the carpenter and every day you hammer a nail, place a board or erect a wall.

Someone once said, your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the

‘house’ you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, build
