Verses 1-10
Verses 11-22
But quickly some of the blue blocks decided they enjoyed their former freedom & decided to not be a part of the blue house any longer. Others complained of it being too bright once HE moved in. Others left as they wanted to form their own little house…a little less warm, & a little more religious. The house became a house full of holes, rather than a holy house. This eventually caused it to topple.The builder came up with a new design. He used blue blocks that wanted to be a part, but he also chose from every color of block. There was one difference this time, he took block by block & painted them a beautiful deep red. That was the one requirement to be a part of his new home.Grace was the nozzle which sprayed each block red. Faith was used as the mortar to put each in its perfect place. The 1st block placed was called Stone/Block of the Corner, which lined up the rest of the entire house. The builder then moved into his new house, as that’s what houses are for. And this time it became not only a house, but a home; and not only a home, but a very Holy and Homey Home.
