We have been using satellite internet and it's not as fast as I'd like. Thank you, Jami Wardah,

And I, too, love this: "definition of true simplicity: a right relationship with God that fills us so deeply that we don’t yearn for unnecessary materialism to fill our empty spaces." Oh my word... even at age 50 something, maybe even MORE so at this age, the thought of simplifying life is important.... I want to simplify my life so that I can ENJOY my grandchildren and relate God and the importance of a relationship with Christ to them. I am falling short of that and it is time to re-evaluate and find my way to this end. Nothing is more important to me than the salvation of my children and grandchildren... well, my walk is important, too.. but you know what I mean... Simplify... you have me thinking... thank you.

I also believe that the Lord wants each of us to live in comfort, whatever that may be for each individual. Money or "things" are not bad, it is the love of money or things that gets us into trouble. There are many ways we can help and be of service to others when our financial needs are well taken care of. I also believe that you can have great wealth AND live a simple life. I enjoy going through my home and de-cluttering, it does bring peace into my life. I also believe that faith is so much more powerful than we even realize. Wardeh, you and your husband desire good things (bed, treadmill) that the Lord would feel joy in giving you. May I suggest that you allow your mind, your heart and your soul to feel the joy and gratitude with which you will feel when you ALREADY have these things. Picture yourself already posessing these things. The gift will come sooner and in a better way for you and your family if you choose to do this. I have seen this happen again, and again in my own life. The "key" is to picture yourself as if you already have these items along with deep gratitude and feeling. This also works for spiritual gifts as well. Try it. love, Tiffany When we let go of things we don’t use, and pass them on to someone else, think of the gift you are giving them.

My goal is to get rid of things I don't use, need or love to look at. I like how my house feels as I clean it out and make more room to live! Love Sylvia Thank you for those thoughts, Wardeh.
