It's a process
It's a process.
The old saying, "Rome wasn't built in a day," is an expression of the steps needed to get to a desired end.
To build a foundation takes work. To realize any idea and see it manifest takes vision, faith, and constant effort. Challenges may come that will create obstacles; or ideas may need adjusting, but the work is still being put forth. Such it seems is life. We have all the tools needed to build our foundation, and we know what to do, but find it sometimes hard to keep up.
We may become disheartened or discouraged because it is much easier to say what we desire, than it is to make it happen. What takes up the time in our days is the process of our lives. We are all working towards something.
When we fall down-- get back up--encouraging others to do so by our example. When we get off track-- get back on. There is always something learned in every experience in the process of life.
