Sweet Okinawa house

I was hanging out with Pastor Tom and Tim, and Tim had to head over to his wife's parents house. So we took him there, and there was the most beautiful house that I have ever seen....everything about it was just amazing...here are some of the pictures.

This is like a little ladle that you use for cleaning your hands. You would usually dip this in the water, and then run the water over your hands, instead of just sticking your hands in the water and contaminating all the fresh water. Its cool how the Lord cleanses us through the Word. Thank you Lord.









This is just a sweet lookin thing, dont know what this one is used for...looks like a seesaw, maybe that is what it is.
Anyway it is cool.









Ayu's (Tim's wife) dad take care of all these things daily, and he puts a lot of hard work into keeping his huge back yard looking ridiculously amazing. The house has been in his family for a long time, but he put a lot of additions to the outside gardens, including a onsen (bath house) and dining area for when they BBQ.




This is the best picture....not because I'm in it....but because this is a picture of a bansai tree that is more than 100 years old. It is Ayu's dads favorite bansai tree, and he takes extra good care of it, there were close to no blemishes or bad growths on the tree. These trees take so much discipline. It just shows how someone can be so dedicated to something for so long and it can still be almost perfect. Same with our walks with the Lord, we can be righteous, pure, and holy before the Lord, but by putting our bodies and minds under submission, disciplining it to follow the Lord!



This is the stair well from the street up into the house. It was so beautiful, and I was blessed to get to see this house. As soon as we started to walk around, I was thinking how awesome it would be to seek the Lord in the gardens, just spending time with Jesus! Find your place to seek the Lord, to hear from Him!

God bless!
