The First Stone Counts.

Ezra 3 honors a real beginning before the whole restoration is complete, making room for both joy and memory at the foundation.

Ezra 3:11 · Word of God
For someone rebuilding

Honor the first stone.

Let this reach the person whose beginning is real even though the work is unfinished.

Ezra 3 does not pretend the temple is complete. The foundation is laid, and that visible beginning becomes a reason for praise.

Joy and grief sound together. Some celebrate what is beginning while others remember what was lost. The first stone matters without erasing either feeling.
