Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Blessings that Open Windows

on
“Bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of your income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now by it, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Malachi 3:10

God promises to open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings on you BUT we have to do our part of this verse. Our part is to be a faithful tither and be obedient to the Lord with our finances. The truth is, we are all just stewards over the resources God has given us. When we are good and faithful stewards, the Lord entrusts us with more and He opens the windows of heaven. Have you ever thought about what kind of blessing would be so great that there would not be room enough to receive it? That's hard to comprehend, but that’s what God’s Word promises that He will do!

We need to make the decision to be givers, be better tithers and tithe the first tenth of our income. As the scripture says, get ready to prove the Lord because He is faithful. Thank Him today because He is going to pour out abundant blessings on every area of our lives .... so much so that we have to share it with others because it's too much for us! Now that's a blessing!!!


Father, You are so good! Thank You for choosing to bless me and for opening the windows of heaven in my life. I choose to be obedient to Your Word, I choose to be a giver and I choose to be a faithful steward of the resources You have entrusted to me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
