Nehemiah

Rebuilding Walls


Brick by brick.
Stone by stone.
Side by side.
Everything takes time.
For Rome wasn't
built in a day.
And neither was Jerusalem.

Sometimes life
can drag you down,
slow you down,
shut you down.
But don't give up
and don't quit trying.
Because...

Sometimes...
it takes baby steps
to get the job done.
And sometimes
you don't realize
that others are helping you
rebuild the wall.

Nehemiah is a book that I really didn't know much about until I started finding out more about B.R.E.A.D. and listening to messages regarding this passage on the radio.  It's amazing what people can do when they are willing to help each other out.
