DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
The following is a little story to encourage you:
THREE MASONS
A man once came upon three rock masons at work. “What are you doing?” he asked them.
“I am carving these stones into the different sizes,” answered the first.
“I am earning six dollars a day,” replied the second.
“I am helping to build a great cathedral,” commented the last.
Only he had caught the vision of the great work he was helping to accomplish! ~
THREE MOTHERS
A woman once came upon three mothers at work. “What are you doing?” she asked?
“I am doing the weekly washing,” answered the first.
“I am doing a bit of household drudgery,” replied the second.
“I am mothering three young children who will someday fill important and useful spheres in life. Wash-day is part of my grand task in caring for these souls who shall live forever,” replied the third.
Only she had caught the vision of the great work she was accomplishing!
