What are you?

Wreckers or Builders

I watched them tearing a building down,a gang of men in a busy town.
With a ho-heave-ho and lusty yell,they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
I asked the foreman, "Are these men skilled,as the men you'd hire if you had to build?"
He gave me a laugh and said, "No indeed!
Just common labour is all I need.I can easily wreck in a day or twowhat builders have taken a year to do.
"And I tho't to myself as I went my way,which of these two roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care,measuring life by the rule and square?
Am I shaping my deeds by a well-made plan,patiently doing the best I can?
Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town,content with the labour of tearing down?

Pastor Tomlinson of Liberty Baptisit Church used this poem in his sermon on Sunday January 27th, 2008. He asked a very important question. "Are you a wrecker or a builder in your life?"
Chew on that for awhile......
