QUESTION OF THE DAY #34: If you could build your house into any shape at all, what would it look like?

A country cottage  is a nice way to go.  There are castle-houses, and houses built like Gothic churches.  There are dome houses and beach houses.  There are A-framed houses and tree houses.  Oh, and lighthouse houses!  What would yours look like?

You can get even more fanciful, like a "hobbit" house or a house made to look like a mushroom!  There are houses that use nature to provide many of the necessities, an Eco-friendly, energy-efficient house, or maybe you have a dream house, featuring a walk-around porch, or pillars, or both!  Finally, there are plenty of people who like their own  house just fine! 
 
I have two choices for this one.  The first is a log cabin!  Simplicity rules the day, there!  The second would be in the shape of a basketball court, with a basketball court on the upper level and living quarters underneath--with a music studio.  That would be living!

In the Old Testament, God chose a tent for his house, and then He gave the blueprints to Moses!  Every part of that house was portable.  It had to be, because the Hebrew people were wandering through the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land.  God certainly goes with us, too, on our journey through life.  He's with us wherever we live.  He's there when we get up and lie down.  He's there in every season.  He's there for the long haul.

As believers in Jesus, we have a permanent home in heaven with God.  This world is temporary, but this world is not all there is!  Jesus said, "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many rooms.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?"  (John 14:1-2)
