$2 Can Go Along Ways

Welcome to HOME HAVEN! Beloved, $2 can still go along ways in todays economy.
I have such fun going to Thrift Shops, Estate Sales, Garage and Yard Sales. It's always an adventure because of the surprises that await me. I know my money always stretches further when I am thrifty and I asked God to show me where to shop.
A few weeks ago, I shopped at a Annual Fund Raiser and found this gently used 100% Cotton Twin Bedspread for $2.00.

She now has a new home at HOME HAVEN. Somebody is going to stay cozy with this sweet purchase.
We all need blessings!

How do you make a house a home? With lots of attention and lots of love. When we ask for BLESSINGS from God up above.

PROVERBS 3 verse 33 from the Bible's Old Testament states:
The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.

God speaks a Blessing to those He loves.

PROVERBS 3 verse 24 states:
When thou liest down,
thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down,
and thy sleep shall be s w e e t.

When I was a little girl, at bed time my Momma always said to me, "Sweet Dreams."

I'll share this with you, may you have sweet dreams while you rest in your home that's a haven because you choose to love God with all your heart.  He is the Lord that comforts you with blessings.

SWEET DREAMS!

Yes, I love them, too! My husband HATES them and can't understand why I like them, but I tell him, "You NEVER know what you're going to find!"

Many times I will need a certain item, and obviously the Lord knows I need it, too, and there it will be at a yard sale or something.

Once, we need a pair of plain black dress shoes for our son to wear in Marching Band, and we went to a free clothing giveaway and sure enough, there were a pair of size 12 plain black shoes (he now wears a 14), like new, for him to wear in Marching Band.

Deanna,
What a great find! and great blessings to go along with it. I think I need to start hitting the yard sales!
Have a happy, blessed Sunday.

Civilla, you can tell you husband that I used to HATE going to them as well. Deanna used to drag me to them and I begrudgingly went along. (but I still hated to go) Until I went to a sale one day and found a hardly used Gerber Hunting Knife that I knew sold for over $50 at the time and I bought it for $5.00. Then another sale, and another bargain, then I was hooked!

Deanna, so many blessing have come to me through you. It was when I realized that when I took you to the places that you liked to go (without complaining) that I got blessed. Over and over again! I love "junking" and garage sales. Can't wait till the city wide next weekend. Can I go with you? :)

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
