Andy's Monday Morning Message - Be A Builder

Welcome to this edition of Andy's Monday Morning Message. This week and every week we have the opportunity to help all the people around us. Regardless of where you are today in life, there are people around you that you can help. You can spend more time with your children helping them with summer reading or sports. You can spend more time with parents or family members helping them with things they need to do. You can make a small or large donation to a great cause. You can work more closely with a co-worker to help them improve their skills or performance. In all of our lives there are tons of things that we can do to help others. The only thing we have to do is decide to do it. Look around and find people that you can help. Help Them! Keep Looking - Keep Helping.

Let's Make This The Best Week Of The Year!!!

ENCOURAGEMENT CORNER...

THE BUILDER

I saw them tearing a building down,

a team of men in my hometown.

With a heave and a ho and a lusty yell,

they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.

And I said to the foreman,

“Are these men skilled?”

“Like the ones you’d use

if you had to build?”

He laughed and said, “Oh no, indeed

the most common labor is all I need.

For I can destroy in a day or two,

what takes the builder years to do.”

So I thought to myself

as I went on my way,

which one of these roles

am I willing to play?

Am I the one who is tearing down,

as I carelessly make my way around?

Or am I one, who builds with care,

to make the world better…because I was there?
