The List.
Keeping with the Simplifying theme.......
Having a Servants heart.
We have already discussed Helping others,
but having a servants heart for your family
should be our priority.
Enjoy the Journey.
We can get so caught up in trying to achieve a simple lifestyle,
that we can forget to play and then we will lose our focus.
Shop wisely.
There are so many ways to be more frugal.
Being frugal will enable us to save money
for that rainy day.
And believe me it is going to rain.
Eat for less.
This is probably our number 1 expense.
So right now, we are eating out of our freezer and
pantry to see how long we can go without going
to the store!
It does no good to stock up if it just sits in our cabinets
or the freezer.
Just Say No.
Do we have our priorities in order?
Are we too busy?
1. God.
2. Self.
3. Family.
4. Work.
5. Church.
6. Everything & everyone else.
Make A List.
We often put way too much on our plates.
Start small, putting just enough on our plate.
Where do we want to start?
Our spiritual life?
Our family life?
Our house?
Our finances?
Our Meals?
Our work?
***********************
Don't worry, Don't hurry, Do your best,
and leave the rest!
******************
And that ye study to be quiet, and do your own business,
and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without,
and that ye may have lack of nothing.
Thessalonians 4:11,12 KJV

All The Rest Does Not Matter
Oh God,
When I have food, help me to remember the hungry.
When I have work, help me to remember the homeless.
When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer.
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough to help,
by word or deed, those who cry out
for what we take for granted.
******************************************
As I have been thinking of simplifying things, this is
my prayer, because if I don't put HIM and others first,
all the rest does not matter.
*****************************************
But Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33

Simplicity
A simple life has different meanings to different people.
For me, it is eliminating stuff & stress.
Learning how to relax is something I have found hard to do.
Stress will kill you and stuff will smother you.

A Walk To Remember
These pictures do not do her yard justice.
My 3 tulip trees are blooming.
God is so good.
The whole earth is full of HIS Glory.
Every flower must grow through dirt.
Good lesson, huh?
Our mind is our Garden
Our thoughts are the seeds
We can grow flowers
Or we can grow weeds.
God has perfect timing never early & never late.
It takes a little patience & a whole lot of faith!
Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers....
Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.
**********************************
If we could see the miracle of a single
flower clearly our whole life would change.
