More Than a Foundation

(These are my thoughts over the past couple days.  While they are not worded in the best way, I felt that I needed to share them.)

Ask any builder, and he will tell you that the most important part of a building is its foundation.  However, there are so many different building styles and materials when it comes to the foundation.  When one travels to the plains states, he would see a very unique style.  In that part of the country, every building has a cellar.  The builder digs out the cellar, builds formations inside the hole and pours concrete between the dirt and the formations, creating concrete walls around the perimeter of the cellar.

When the twisters come in the spring and summer, that foundation provides the family with protection from the violent attacks of the storm.  Even if the home is blown away, the foundation remains.

We are called to build foundations for our families.  I'm not just referring to the physical foundations upon which our homes are built, but also the spiritual foundations upon which we need to build our homes.  Many people see the foundation as something that you build one time and forget about, but one must continually inspect and repair his home's spiritual foundation.  He must also keep in mind that the foundation is not just what he builds the rest of his home on, but also the source of protection for his family in the time of storm.  He must make that foundation the only One who can calm the storm.
