Concrete is made of a mixture of very simple elements which of themselves are not stable enough for a foundation. But, mixed together in proper sequence and proportions, tiny grains of sand, small pebbles, water, and cement powder form a unique substance of unusual strength and durability. For a few hours after the concrete is mixed, it can be poured into any desired form. At first, before it is completely hardened, even a tiny bird hopping across its soft surface will leave an imprint. But later, it becomes so firm an elephant could walk over it without leaving any track.
Just a few simple elements, combined in a proper way, form a sturdy foundation for a house. So do the simple teachings of the gospel bond together to make a strong foundation for our lives.
In contrast, small grains of salt sprinkled on the concrete can actually cause it to break up and crumble if they are not removed. Small steps taken in the wrong direction, ignored or uncorrected, will weaken and destroy our lives. BY SMALL AND SIMPLE THINGS......
May God be with you in the building of your homes. Love, mom
