An elderly carpenter intends retiring from his job at a construction company real estate. He expressed his wish that the company owner. He wanted to rest and enjoy the rest of her old age peacefully with his wife and family. Company owners feel sad to lose one of his best workers. He then begged the carpenter to make a home for himself. Carpenter nodded in agreement that the company owner's personal request. But, in fact he felt forced. He wanted to quit. His heart was not completely shed.Reluctantly he work on the project. He just uses modest materials. Finally finished the house that was asked by his master. The result is not a good home. It's a pity he should end his career with achievements that are not so admirable.
When the owner of the company came to inspect the house which he asked, he handed over a front door key to the carpenter.
'This is your house,' he says, 'a gift from us.' How shocked the carpenter. What a shame and remorse. If only he knew that he was actually working on a house for himself, he would have done in another way altogether. Now he must live in a house that was not too well his own works.
Friends, that's what happened in our lives. Sometimes, many of us are building a life in a confusing and less responsible. Prefer perfunctory rather than trying to seek the good. Even in the most important parts of our lives we do not give you the best.
At the end of our journey was surprised to see what we have done and find ourselves living in a house of our own making.
If we knew from the beginning we would go through this life with a much different way.
Reflect that we are the carpenter. Ponder 'home' we are constructing. Every day we hit the nail, put up signs, set up the walls and roof. Let's finish 'home' our best to do it as if only just once in a lifetime.
