A man enters a construction site and sees three men cutting stone.
He approaches the first man and says, “Tell me, what are you doing?”
The man answered, “I’m cutting stone.”
He then asks the second man, “What are you doing?”
He answers, “I’m earning a living.”
Finally, he asks the third man, “What are you doing?”
The last man says, “I’m building a palace for the King.”
Look to the mundane activities as something more than something you are doing at the moment. You can look to the outcome of your work, or you can always look for the higher vision, the ultimate purpose where everything we do creates a holier place for God to dwell among us.
