Tribes of Israel #5 - JACOB'S BLESSING TO HIS CHILDREN

Tribes of Israel #5 - Jacob's Blessing to His Sons

The fact that I start every post in this series with a disclaimer is ridiculous.  We are simply studying God's Word (the Bible) and learning about the Tribes of Israel but because the topic is "Israel", I automatically get comments calling me "anti-Semitic".  I am simply stating facts from the Bible - if you can't deal with Biblical facts then you'll have to take up your issues with God and not with me.  Here is the disclaimer:

I have not, am not and will never condone, encourage or participate in any kind of hate or violence towards any person or group of people.

Today we are going to focus on "Jacob's Blessing to His Sons" from Joseph's line.

A "blessing" from father to son (or sons) in the Old Testament was similar to an inheritance today but it wasn't monetary or physical property.  Rather, it was spiritual and even prophetic (as we will see in Jacob's/Israel's blessing to his sons)(remember - Jacob's name was changed to Israel):

The Old Testament is so important and  unfortunately many Christians have never learned or studied these passages.  That's why certain "labeling" in mainstream life is wrong and falsely causes offense.

#3 - God's Covenant with Abraham

#4 - The Split Blessing

Repurposed Windows Made Into A Cold Frame

Repurposed Windows Made Into A Cold Frame

A couple years ago, we had our old 1960's windows replaced and we kept the old windows because my husband had a vision of what to do with the old ones.  It's a temporary, take-down & rebuildable cold frame for starting plants.

My husband made a 2x4 track to place the windows into on both sides and then staked them from the outside.  He placed windows on top and at the back and front and voila!!!  Afterwards, we will take it apart and store the windows in the shed until next sprintime.  A perfect way to reuse, recycle and repurpose old windows.

I know, it looks a little junky from the outside but the plants don't care and in a few weeks this garden patch will be cleared, tilled and planted with sweet potatoes and sunflowers.

(We also transformed an old sink into a wonderfully practical outdoor sink!! - see below):

You can see the young plant starters inside.

Cucumbers, squash, basil.......

......tomatoes & more!
