Outside Reading Post # 7

I read a story this weekend about a carpenter. He was about to retire when his boss asked him to make one last house, he said okay. It was easy to see it wasn't his best house. It wasn't a good way to end a career. After he finished his employer came to inspect the house. Instead he handed the carpenter the front-door key. "This is my gift to you" he said. The carpenter was shocked. He would have done a better job if he had known it was going to be his. I think that this story is trying to point out to us that everyday we have less and less motivation to do our very best when you never know it might affect you. You should always try hard even when your almost done and you don't feel like it.
