Dad loved to build. For us Moyes' kids he built a large cubby house, billy cart, dolls house, mouse house, a fire truck that you could sit in and steer, etc. As a pastor, dad built centres for the homelesss, the aged, and the orphaned. He built colleges and even the 40-story Wesley Centre in the heart of Sydney. Around our various homes, dad built extensions, barns, and decks. On one occasion as dad was teaching me some building skills he said, "when you build, you build to last". In others words, do a job well so it will last longer. It is a good principle to apply in life. For those who are leaders, teachers, parents, etc. you are building into the lives of others. Build wisely and lovingly into others and there will be a healthy legacy that will last a long time.
