I hear you, Jean!  I tend to be sentimental about stuff.  Hard to part with things that are full of memories.  However, we&#039;ve moved eleven times, forcing us to pare down our belongings each time.  It&#039;s a painful but productive process!]]></description>

Happy Sunday, Nancy. I am excited so many of you all want to come along with me on this exploration of simplicity. Really says something about the culture and time we are in, doesn&#039;t it? I know it won&#039;t come easy to me - I am a creature of habit and love my stuff.  LOL.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Appreciate these definitive thoughts about simplicity:  a sense of space and openness in life; the practice of honoring time, relationships, nature and God. Also:  &quot;Simplicity offers feeling present and savoring the blessings we have.&quot;  And since I so easily get wrapped up in the to-do list, this statement spoke hope to me:  &quot;Simplicity is a discipline because we have to work at it and practice it in order to apply it in our lives.&quot;  In other words, don&#039;t become discouraged if it doesn&#039;t come naturally!  But I can see the result is well worth the effort.  Looking forward to becoming more simple!! :-)]]></description>

doesn&#039;t that concept simplify simplicity?  I know that was the focus of my prayers this morning. Have had quite a bit happen this past two week - mostly good stuff - but just a lot of discernment - I kept hearing God say one day at a time.  Keep it simply.  I smiled knowing that was this month&#039;s topic.  I don&#039;t think a coincidence.  have a great weekend, Martha]]></description>

Thanks Pearl.  I will have to find that book and read it too.  Finding the older Richard Foster one  right on my own shelf was such God-timing.  I think this is a topic quite a few of us want to learn more about.  ]]></description>

I too forgot about that book until I ran across it. My shelves hold treasure gathering dust. I hunger for this topic and think many of us do]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love the concept of simplicity being that focus on God first; all else will fall into place, and what we really don&#039;t need in our lives will fall away in the process.  I&#039;m really looking forward to this series on simplicity, Jean - great topic!
Blessings!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh, I&#039;d forgotten about Freedom of Simplicity! It&#039;s been so long since I&#039;ve read that. Likely do for a re-read now! :) Thanks, Jean. Love this topic so much. “Simplicity is a spiritual discipline that reorients one’s life by deliberately organizing it for a purpose.”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great post!  I just got a book by Susan V. Vogt, BLESSED BY LESS.  So I think we are both on the same wave length.  I am trying to let go of &quot;stuff&quot;, and getting my physical world in order; as I strive to grow spiritually.  God is showing me the way.  Thanks for this timely blog on a subject that I am trying to embrace.]]></description>
