Living The Simple Life

Living the Simple Life

Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.

Luke 12:15

Take ten minutes today to simplify your possessions. Go through your closet and give away three things you don’t often wear—clothing, shoes, belts, scarves.

Or find the things in your garage, closet, or storage area that you keep “just in case,” and give one of them away.

This exercise will be a good indicator of how attached you are to your possessions. And it will help you become familiar with your nearest Goodwill, Salvation Army, or other collection center.

How did it feel to simplify your life over the past several days?

Which reflections or exercises freed you up the most?

Ask the Lord how he might want you to continue living simply.
