Brad, Kathy, Vicki and Everyone,
I really like that analogy. It is so true.
Kathy, just don't play in the cement, though. lol. <grin>
I love to watch cement being poured. It's like Jesus setting the foundation
for our lives. When we stop and think of all this, building a house or any
structure is so neat because it reminds me of how God shapes our lives, and
how we are all shaped differently. lol.
Kathy, keep the posts coming, as I'm really excited for you.
Love and Blessings,
Pat Ferguson Praising God
