Bless This House

 As I've shared before, the name for Bethel Farm came from a study I was doing in Genesis when I learned that Bethel means "house of God".  Nothing could be a more fitting description for this beautiful place we've been blessed to live.  It's important to us that we remember that this farm truly is a blessing from The Lord.  With that in mind, this week we set about doing a sort of house blessing/dedication.  

Through the years there are many scriptures that have become especially meaningful to our family.  Some are precepts we seek to follow, some are promises we rely on in difficult times, and some are sentiments of thanksgiving to God. To symbolize the fact that The Lord is the foundation of our home and to acknowledge His blessings over us, we decided to write His words on the framework prior to hanging the drywall. 

We imagine one day when our grandchildren go to remodel they will maybe be able to read some of these verses and be reminded of the foundation of faith on which we have built our family.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:5-6
