Saw this on a construction page. Amen."Meet the builder guy"
I have this "thing" I do . It drives my boys insane . At the end of every day . My guys and I roll everything up , load it in the truck . We clean up as if we never we're there , every day . Then we all jump in the truck . I'll start my truck and step back out . This is when my guys sigh , knowing what I'm about to do . I walk around my truck and back to the build site , and I stand . I look at what we've built that day . I scratch my chin . Maybe flip my ball cap around . I study what's in front of me . My mind races but it's heavenly ! I look over everything . I walk it over . I touch it to feel the quality of the lumber and materials . I brainstorm on that one added feature that will go the extra mile for perfection in what I'm building . For a moment , I feel a bond to what is being built because it contains my heart and soul . My blood , sweat and tears . But it's a bond that can't be explained . It's not just a job . It's a way of life for me . This is what I'll do for the rest of my days on Earth . All of these things are rushing through my head , as I walk back around and climb back in my truck and sit in silence . I am immediately greeted with the words ,,,,, BOUT DAMN TIME ! This is how every day of my life ends , before I go home to work in the office until midnight . Why do you ask ? Because I love what I do . I love building . I love helping people have their dreams and seeing their visions and our ideas come together . To make those dreams real ! I thank God every day for giving me a gift to not only be called a builder , but to be what I am ............
I am a Carpenter . . .
