Perspective

Brian's comments reminded me of a story I once heard. It goes something like this.

Three men were laying bricks for a temple and they were all asked the same question. "What are you doing?"

The first answered, "I'm laying bricks."

The second answered, "I'm helping to create a building."

But the third when asked, paused and looked toward the uncompleted project with hope and love in his eyes and a quiver in his voice, and said: "I am working on a temple for the Living God."

Which one do you think really received the true joy of his labors?
