QUIET resting places

 

Isaiah 32:18

King James Version

18 And my people shall dwell 

in a peaceable habitation, 

and in sure dwellings, 

and in quiet resting places;

How would houses at PRAISE village look like?

Most important is it's a home offered to GOD.

Where family's safe, warm, and loved.

Where you share simple meals with friends.

Found some images to inspire us all.

Small, simple, serene homes.

Have a look at these:

PRETTY little house

 

Haggai 1:8

King James Version

8 Go up to the mountain, 

and bring wood, 

and build the house; 

and I will take pleasure in it, 

and I will be glorified, 

saith the Lord.

PRAISE village has a simple concept:

To worship GOD alone.

We are not distracted by things of the world.

We like simple.

Thus, when I saw that PLAY house picture above, I was mighty moved.

My born again heart saw possibilities.

I imagined it on a larger scale, to house adults.

And kids, of course.

Thanks to the GENIUS creativity of Jen, a self-taught carpenter, and mother of two.

Sure, it's for kids.

But sez who you can't modify it, and make it for a whole family?

Connect with Jen, and she'll give you the plans for FREE.

That's the basic house design I envision for the village.

Just a simple structure, with a shed roof.

A warm, and cheerful structure that loves its occupants.

A home you'd love to come home to.

A home, with heart.

Add areas for living, dining, kitchen, bath, and a bedroom, or two.

Depending on how big a family is.

This play house design could also serve as shop, or office, for people at PRAISE village.

Who wouldn't want to go to work in a perfect, little structure such as this?

But definitely at PRAISE village, we have tiny homes.

Suffice it to say, I've finally found my dream home.

And it had to be a play house.

The roof will be slanted like the one above, shed-style.

Transom windows and front window will catch the sun every morning.

Ingenious, for it gives you additional peeks of light.

Position the main entrance to catch the morning sun.

This way, the house will be bathed with natural light, and give cheer to its occupants.

Apart from being able to save on unnecessary use of electricity.

That's always how I've imagined a house to be, having taken up architecture in the past.

I'm a simple thinker, with simple needs.

As born again, I've gotten even simpler.

I like what John the Baptist said about CHRIST, and himself:

John 3:30

King James Version

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

A tiny house, a basic one, will help discipline born agains into worshiping GOD, instead of being caught up by possessions.

And yes, we keep those circular windows.

Our houses may be simple, but each house is filled with:

GOD's LIGHT, 

GOD's LOVE, and 

GOD's WISDOM.

I can envision such houses populating our PRAISE village.

Our community church will be that way, too.

Won't houses look the same?

All the better.

Families only need to put their own colorful curtain, or put favored plants on the wooden boxes.

Every house has the same natural wood exterior.

It's more economical to build shed roofs, for rain will flow down one side only.

Long-span roofing sounds good.

I've seen too many complex roofs that create leaks.

Our homes are for GOD, and families.

Not for show, or luxury.

We're too busy living GOD's TRUTH.

You can always build bigger, and taller for adults.

Just have the heart of a happy child, and the HOLY SPIRIT will surely fill your heart with ideas.

Dream with GOD.

Everything starts from small things.

Let it be a play house for GOD first.

We, perpetual kids, ALWAYS build for GOD first.

For we have no doubt who we serve:

Joshua 24:15

King James Version

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 

choose you this day whom ye will serve; 

whether the gods which your fathers served 

that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, 

in whose land ye dwell: 

but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the Lord.

I thank the HOLY SPIRIT for leading me to Jen's play house, which tickled my five-year-old heart, to share with you.

P.S. What is it about KENTUCKY?

I learned Jen is from Kentucky.

I also realized I had featured a simple log home before.

Also in Kentucky.

I have a basic book on the U.S.

So, I search for "Kentucky".

Predictably, it's a child's book.

Now, don't remind me about the fried chicken.

Also, I learned Jen's a Christian.

GOD really brings His people together.

I'm in AWE.

The JOYFUL village

 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

King James Version

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.

PRAISE village is a happy born again village.

For we know JESUS can return ANY moment.

GOD decides when.

In the meantime, we study the WORD, we live the WORD, and we share the WORD.

The WORD of GOD is center of our existence.

And since JESUS is the WORD, He is the center of our existence.

John 1:14

King James Version

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

What could be more exciting than to see the LORD, and to be with Him?

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

What could be more exciting than to have ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS?

John 11:25-26

King James Version

25 Jesus said unto her, 

I am the resurrection, 

and the life: 

he that believeth in me, 

though he were dead, 

yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this?

All you have to do is seek GOD.

Believe in His SON.

Repent of your sins.

Believe in the gospel.

For the time is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Everything we're doing on earth -- our life, our work -- is but preparation.

Everything must be consecrated to CHRIST.

That's why we at PRAISE village are happy, and content.

To have JESUS in your heart, suffices.

To have GOD love us, is all we need.

To have SPIRIT teach us, makes us feel so blessed.

To live by the BIBLE, guides us each moment.

We are in GOD's good company.

We are happy to share our village with you.
