=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
Living Simply, by Paul Faulkner
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in
him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit (Romans 15:13 TNIV).
Thanks to Elaine St. James for writing this: "Living fully doesn't mean
having it all and going everywhere and doing everything and being all
things to all people. Many of us are beginning to see that too much is
too much; it gets in the way of being able to enjoy the things we do
want in our lives and to simply be who we are."
Let the rest go!
Achieving a level of inner simplicity makes it possible to choose
intelligently the things that are meaningful in our lives. And they
contribute to our peace of mind if they ultimately mean that we do
fewer things and have less stuff. However, that decision will not come
so much from self-denial, but from wisdom that comes from taking the
time to figure out what is important to us, and letting all the rest
go.
The message today: learn to live simply with peace.
