Psalm 128:1-2 (New International Version)

 

Blessed are all who fear the LORD,
       who walk in his ways.

You will eat the fruit of your labor;
       blessings and prosperity will be yours.

Psalm 122:9 (New International Version)

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
       I will seek your prosperity.

Psalm 106:1-5

Praise the LORD.
       Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
       his love endures forever.

Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD
       or fully declare his praise?

Blessed are they who maintain justice,
       who constantly do what is right.

Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people,
       come to my aid when you save them,

that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
       that I may share in the joy of your nation
       and join your inheritance in giving praise.

By now most communities have freecycle. It is a local online group that exists to keep stuff out of landfills. Sometimes junk stuff sometimes great stuff. each group is an extension of the freecycle.org group, but each local group runs according to local leadership.

• first you find your local group
• join up
• get approved
• start freecycling!

You can give away things or request things. Usually asking for big ticket items is frowned upon but sometimes they are offered. Some groups will let the givers give away live animals, mostly kittens, but I have seen hamsters, snakes, fish and dogs, or and hermit crabs. The most common items given are household items and clothing. We have requested tires and gotten them. the only thing to watch for it to check how far away the item is located. traveling 20 miles for a $1 item doesn’t make sense even if it is free unless it cannot be found elsewhere.

We have a friend who works in a warehouse and they always have extra packing materials. He brings us everything from bubble wrap to 2×4’s and recently wood pallets. The pallets have OSB board, which is a type of plywood on one side. We always have uses for plywood. When you take them apart you are left with a whole ton of these little wood blocks that are about 5 inches by 5 inches by 5 inches. We gathered all of those up and filled the wood box. They will make great fire starters for next winter.

Think creative. Who do you know that works somewhere with stuff they throw away? It needs to be within close driving distance to make it worth wile.

Psalm 72:7

In his days the righteous will flourish;
       prosperity will abound till the moon is no more.

Psalm 25:12-14 (New International Version)

¹² Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
       He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

¹³ He will spend his days in prosperity,
       and his descendants will inherit the land.

¹⁴ The LORD confides in those who fear him;
       he makes his covenant known to them.

I just found something great to add to my honey do list. My hubby can make nearly anything out of wood. We have a bed frame that he made out of trees. I need to take a picture for you. We have acres of trees and I love things made from trees. It goes with our cowboy style decorating. Anyway, if I can design it or find a picture he can build it. Well I just found a great site with tons of pictures of rustic furniture. I am feeling a need to redecorate the family room. And it wont cost me a dime.
