[Since I’m on a partial-maternity leave right now, please forgive me that a lot of my posts are personal and very much family-related. I hope you all don’t mind.]
The lesson I learned from my weekly Bible study:
Once a man came upon three rock masons at work.
“What are you doing,” he asked.
“I am carving these stones into the different sizes wanted,” answered the first.
“I am earning six dollars a day,” replied the second.
“I,” replied the third, “am helping to build a great cathedral!”
[Only he had caught the vision of the great work he was helping to do on a daily basis.]
Once a woman came upon three mothers at work.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I am doing the weekly laundry,” answered the first.
“I am doing a bit of household drudgery,” replied the second.
“I am mothering four young children who some day will fill important and useful spheres in life, and washing laundry is part of my grand task in caring for these souls who shall live forever,” replied the third.
Wow. This really spoke to me …
How is your perspective on your job, your daily to-do-list, your calling in your life?
