Foundations

When building a house, they start with the foundation. They build it brick by brick. In between each brick they put mortar. They take great care in putting this together, because it is what the house will be built on. They want it to hold, not just for a year, but for many years to come. As they build the house, the weight that is placed on that foundation is great. They want to make sure that when earth quakes come, or storms come, that the foundation will hold that house in place.

That foundation is what we need to build in our relationships. When we first start the dating process it is just as they are doing before they build the house. They test the soil, the water content and make sure it is suitable for a foundation and the house. Just as we should be doing in a relationship.

As our relationships grow, we need to continue to build the foundations of trust, truth, love, patience and so many other things.  The foundation is so important, but we seem to forget about it, because it is under the house. We don't think that without it, the house will fall down. With every secret we hide from our partners, we knock a little of the foundation away. You can't see what is happening from the outside, because the house still looks strong. It hides the very thing that will cause it to fall.

When a house is built on a foundation of lies, hurts, pains, cheating and emptiness that house will fall unless the foundation is repaired. The repair takes work, but in the work you can build a very strong foundation and the house will follow. It is possible, because there is nothing impossible. Some may say it is to hard, but even in the pains and struggles it will stand stronger still.

It is time we take a look at our foundations. Build the foundation, even after the house is completed the foundation needs to be maintained. Today it is about continuing to build that foundation. No longer just guess it is alright, build it and it will endure storms and do it together, for each hardship you can add support.

Start building, securing, supporting and so that house will stand even with the greatest of storms, because together anything is possible. Today focus not just on the beauty of the house, but on the strong foundation.
