Our House is a Very, Very, Very Fine House - 959

Cleo's Summer Hangout

No, just one cat in the yard and she mostly lounges on the trampoline.  This old house is from the 1920's i'm told, and as with anything old, it tends to sag and creek and have a lot of history worth uncovering under the aged exterior.  One of the windows was covered over in the master bathroom and the first step was to locate it and the second to cut it out to let the light shine in.  More light and airflow through these older houses are a must and this includes the inside, attic and crawl spaces.  Just some helpful knowledge worthy of passing on as i open this old house up.
  i was offered another "rental" house that was a deal hard to pass up - free rent for a year while i pay the utilities and insurance.  They needed a care taker for the property and i had grown to know this family over the last couple years.  As much as i appreciated the offer and trust with their house, i thanked them and told them that God had already provided what i needed.  A blessing of a place with need of some tender loving care, a lot of scraping and painting, new flooring and several new doors.  i have a deep purpose here in this place and i view it as analogous to my walk of faith with Jesus.  This restoration manifesting in this old house has taken place in me, in my heart.  i was surely in need of some repair and some tender loving care and restoring through the Holy Spirit.
  i haven't written much in the last year and a half, partly due to technology challenges and partly due to my increased work load.  i had written much about my spiritual walk on my website and almost chronicled the process in word and drawing, in projects and ministry outreach.  The antbrotherfarms.com site has been dormant for a while and i hope to concentrate on getting it back up, while this house comes back up to being habitable.  i think that would be a good groundbreaking and reopening focus.

Our House is a Very, Very, Very Fine House

Joshua 24:15
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”

Love and God Bless You,
