Every calling is great when greatly pursued. I pressed toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ~ Philippians 3:14 A carpenter had a brother who was a famous musician. When his brother came to visit the construction company where he worked, the foreman said, “You must be very proud to have a brother who is known around the world for his music.” Then, feeling that he may have slighted his worker, he clumsy added. “Of course, not everyone in the same family can enjoy an equal amount of talent.” The carpenter responded, “You’re right. My brother doesn’t know the first thing about building a home. It’s fortunate he could afford to hire others to build a house for him. “ The musician brother nodded in agreement and added , “My brother and I both work with our hands. I hold a musical instrument in mine, and he holds a hammer in his.” Not everybody is called to walk the same path through life. If that were true, we’d fine our walk the same path through life. If that were true, we’d find our walk through life very crowded indeed! Booker T. Washington wrote in Up From Slavery: “There is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. “Dignity resides in a man’s heart and attitude, not in his job description.
