Recently two things have caught my heart's attention: a desire to live more simply and also the idea of entitlement here in North America.
When I see how other people in the world often live with so little or live with many people in one house, it makes me question how we live here. Right now I have my son-in-law, daughter and little grandson living with us. There are moments that it would be nice to have a quiet house and have it all to myself but the majority of the time, I enjoy hearing those little feet pattering around upstairs. My husband and I have grown very close to our daughter, son-in-law and also have developed a very special relationship with our grandson. What a blessing and a privilege! It is not everyone who gets this chance.
I'm not sure where I'm going to start with the more simplistic living but I'm thinking of doing a year where I'm not going to buy anything new for myself. I am giving this some thought. I'll keep you posted.
I just know that God is bringing this to my attention for purpose. I love embarking on a new path! I know that it can be challenging but there's always great growth. I anticipate wonderful things! So, until next time, I'm thinking simple thoughts...
