Bài viết hay: BUILD YOUR OWN LIFE

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire, and he told his boss of his
plans to leave and live a more leisurely life with his wife. He would
miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

The contractor was sorry to see such a good worker go, and he asked the
carpenter to 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 a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the
house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your
house,” he said. “It is my gift to you.”

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was
building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

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.

If we could do it over, we’d do it much differently. But we cannot go back…

You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall.

Your attitudes and the choices you make today build your “house” for tomorrow…

Ask God to be the Master-builder of your life!

He will show you how to build a strong foundation for the ‘house’ of your life.
