"HELLO THIS IS RICHARD, I HOPE YOU LIKE MY WEB PAGE, PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT MY PAGE, THANKYOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY !

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor 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 hiswork.

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 him the front door key , "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

What a shock! What a shame! If he 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.

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best.

At important points,we do not give the job our best effort.

Than with ashock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house wehave built.

If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board or erect a wall. Build wisely.

It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity.

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.
