Whatever work you do, do
your best, because you are going to the grave,
where there is no
working, no planning, no knowledge, and no wisdom.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
I am a procrastinator, but I'll tell you about that later. Anyone who knows me well, also knows that if you want something fixed....I'm not exactly the handiest person to call. My advice is the same as I heard on the Andy Griffith Show many years ago: "Just call the man!"
But the things I am able to do, I will give it my all. My bride has watched as I worked on a B.U.B.B.A. to give away. She was amazed (or amused, not sure which), when I undid about two days worth of work. She asked me why, I explained that I had messed it up. She told me no one would notice. But here's the point, had I not fixed it, I would have known that my best was not given.
You see, we're not expected to be perfect, but we are expected to give our best effort in everything we do. Our legacy will be "He ALWAYS did his best" or "Meh, he did just enough to get by." Which legacy would you want?
