The Watchmaker
All work has value.
A watchmaker, working solitary at the bench, with jeweler's loupe and small instruments. The care taken, the delicate result.
❖
A laborer, part of a building crew, with spade and trowel. The strength exerted; the foundation built will support an institution.
Is one labor truly of greater value than the other? Does care best strength?
Lord, grant me willingness to show devotion to my duties today.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Am I equally willing to do the difficult, as well as the easy?
