Simplify Your Life

This is just a quick thought I had today....

Simplicity and contentment.

I was Christmas shopping Tuesday night with a family member. They asked me if there was anything that I "really" wanted. Not just little things that would be nice, like maybe a CD or something, but something I "really" wanted.
"No, nothing," I said
"Me either," they said.

It stinks being content doesn't it! (sarcasm.... just incase it wasn't clear)
And something that is often overlooked at Christmas is simplicity. Not getting caught up in everything, remembering Christ's birth, and just living in contentment.

I also reflected then on the things in my life that I like to do.
The things that are "not so bad" or however YOU justify it.
BUT, what's "not so bad".....also..... is "not so good." They keep us from fully living for and about Christ. So, simplify your life. Give up those things that occupy your life/time that are "not so bad."

Five ways to be happier:
1. Free your mind from worries
2. Free your heart from hate
3. Live simply
4. Give more
5. Expect less

I love you all
