I really enjoyed the seminar called “Healthy Homes” today at the Union Church in Kaitaia. I learned a lot and I hope I remember what I learned. And I enjoyed it not only because I received a concesson ticket for bus rides worth $45.00. I answered half a question correctly. (On that concession ticket I can BusaboutKaitaia – Five return trips to Mangonui or five return trips to Pukeknui.)

It was all about insulating homes, insulating the ceilings, the floors and the water heaters. Good insulation of a home improves the physical health of the occupants and saves a lot of money.

The seminar ended with afternoon tea.

After the meeting I attended to some more of my business in town. While doing that I told two people I met about the $45.00 bus ticket. All of a sudden it hit me that I told about the bus tickets without hesitation. I rejoiced about it- it was good news.

But there is greater news. The greatest news is that the Lord Jesus Christ died for sinners. Am I also so eager to tell about this Greatest News as I am keen to tell about the winning of the bus ticket?

“HEALTHY HOMES!”

Of course, we want healthy homes. Who does not want a healthy home? But I think a home is REALLY HEALTHY, when all the occupants can say with all their hearts “BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.” Joshua 24:15 Joshua said that. That is spiritual health!

I know a home in Kaikohe, where this Bible verse is hanging on the wall in one of the the rooms.
