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."

I really love what Jesus said to Martha: "One thing is needed. Mary has chosen the better portion."

Yes, I think you’re right—we are dissatisfied with what God has given. We want something different! Submission to limitations, to who we are, is what’s needed, right?

One thing, yes! Jesus, himself. Glory. Blessings on your day. Thanks for your response.

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.

Oh, thanks, Peggy. Yes, choice and necessity, both. And recognizing God’s goodness as source. Bless you. Appreciate your response.
