Simplicity

Simplicity ~ Simplify that's what I have had running throughout my mind I would say in the past few years but even more in the past few weeks. How is it we are built to want more and even feel as if we are more successful responsible people when we have things. Things that can not breath, love or above all worship our creator. Its all worldly. The flashes of the good life when we have tons of money and martial items. As I simplify I feel this weight melting off my shoulder and chest. You may wonder what I'm talking about by the word simplify... Simplify my day. To listen to my children. What their little voices and the sounds of their pitter patter that will soon be changing and even eventually fading into a childhood memory. Sitting in the lawn on a blanket absorbing all that God has made. Taking time to talk with, build on and love the relationships in my life. Prayer, talking to God daily. Eating in as a family, each visiting about the highlights of our day. Gutting out the cabinets and closets. How nice it is to see what you have and not find yourself digging being frustrated with clutter. Once I have this mindset I even catch myself in walmart buying the basics and not being called to any of the normal desired items. Simplify, its what God wants for us...
