Thanks! Great thoughts. And I wonder: what drives us to un-simple lives in the first place? Yes, as you say, GOD sometimes stretches us, but why do we always reach for more than we have? Somehow, somewhere, I think we are dissatisfied with God, and "looking for love in all the wrong places."
I really love what Jesus said to Martha: "One thing is needed. Mary has chosen the better portion."
Hi Karen,
Thanks! Great thoughts. And I wonder: what drives us to un-simple lives in the first place? Yes, as you say, GOD sometimes stretches us, but why do we always reach for more than we have? Somehow, somewhere, I think we are dissatisfied with God, and "looking for love in all the wrong places."

Love this. I think it is safe to say I live a simple life, both by choice in some areas and necessity in others. God is good.
