Living On Less & Liking It More...

Sometimes we find it hard to live on less. It is even harder to live on less and like it more. But, we can do it by living on good Christian principles, taking care of the things that we have and living simply.

When we have the right perspective, life is simple. God first, family second and then friends. Our homes, the things we purchase and the things that we do will revolve around what is necessary to have happy, healthy relationships.

Money & things do not bring happiness. But, money and things are necessities in life. They are needed to take care of our families and sustain our way of life. Each individual and family has to make the decision, themselves, as to what they need.

Happiness is a thing of the heart. Many very poor families are happy. They love each other and they work & play together well. They have the bare necessities of life, but their love is the glue that keeps it all together.

Today's fad is green and simple. It is a fad and it will probably last for a time, but then the pendulum will swing back. But, if you take notice, those that call for green and simple, themselves, live far from green and far from simple. They talk the talk, but do not walk the walk. Whereas, lots of people have lived simple and conserved their whole lives. They have found that the simple things in life do meet their needs and that they can live on less and like it more. These people are not bogged down with extra upkeep and responsibility. It is a matter of choice.
