13、d the frontdoor key to the carpenter and said, “This is your house . 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
14、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 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, “Life is
