LIVING ROOMS, DINING ROOMS, BEDROOMS, AND BATHROOMS THIS IS US, #3 Pastor Dennis Clanton Woodland Church Sunday, February 25, 2018 “How joyful are those who fear the LORD— all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor. How joyful and prosperous you will be! Your wife will be like a fruitful grapevine, flourishing within your home. Your children will be like vigorous young olive trees as they sit around your table. That is the LORD’s blessing for those who fear him. May the LORD continually bless you from Zion. May you see Jerusalem prosper as long as you live. May you live to enjoy your grandchildren. May Israel have peace!” (Psalm 128, NLT) 1. HAVE FUN IN THE FAMILY ROOM. “I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life.

Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose— don’t ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted!” (Proverbs 5:18–19, The Message) 4.
