Foundation

I've started back into the swing of our "normal" routine. Exercise, cooking, cleaning, school... among other things. Shorty says that I just like to be busy (read that "over-commit"). He's probably right! ;)
But every once in a while, I get to feeling a little (or a lot) overwhelmed, and wonder if I can, or should, cut something out. And I started thinking about balancing... and comparing it to juggling. (Juggling may be a post for another day! ;)) And as I was thinking, balancing led me to foundations. With the right kind of foundation, you can even balance spheres. But with the wrong foundation... "We all fall down."

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."
Matthew 7:24-27
 
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
Ephesians 2:19-21
 
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11
