Simple Living

“THE SIMPLE”

in time...

the simple will be enough.

the excesses of today

will not be forgotten...

but we will marvel at our foolishness.

in time...

the friend we made...even in passing through

will be the treasure

and mark...

the measure

of our delight

It will not be the green

of the dollar or it's resulting envy..

but the times spent

with those who hold us dear to heart.

we shall part

with the things of this world...

but carry forever with us the memory of...

those we love...and we find so warm.

in time...

yes...in time.

Thoreau made a less than $20.00 hut into a famous excursion for his time and a philosophical extravaganza for folks of this day.  The sernity of the glass like pond
and surrounding fields of green.  Thoreau himself noted that "most men live lives of quiet desperation".

When in the course of this rat race we take time for an excursion into ourselves, we find a quite simple fact:  Where the darkness of evening meets dawns dampness and fog, there is a sun to burn off the unclear and a ready waiting God to make the desperation disappear.  Let not the beauty of the simple be swallowed up in the complexities of life; those that, in the end, will not deny a believer's eternity.



Lord,
We thank you for each hour...
for the power
you provide
as we collide
with the very sin you defeated...
the very loss
that you overcome
on the Cross.
Make it a peaceful day...
show us Your Way...
and comfort those in pain...
We remain...
grateful
hopeful
and in awe!
Amen
