Freshwater

Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.

Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

HGTV Dream Home 2021

 Yes, it's that time of year again. And yes, I will enter every day, because it's fun and I enjoy looking at the pictures. The day I get so focused on that house and my urgent need for it that I forget to enjoy and appreciate the life I have, is the day I quit entering for good. It's fun and exciting and it's okay to daydream a little here and there, but we shouldn't focus on worldly things or values, and sometimes I need a little reminder of that. 

The sweepstakes entry page can be found here. You can enter once on HGTV and once on the Food Network, and each of those pages has an entry for another contest after that. One is for a $500 Lowe's gift card, and one is for a kitchen makeover from Wayfair.

This year's Dream Home is in Newport, Rhode Island. Since I've never been to Rhode Island it must be my year so I can visit, right? ;)









This year's Dream Home also comes with an RV instead of the usual car.




Here's a video tour of the house after it was decorated.
