Reflection

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary, so that the necessary may speak.”  
~Hans Hofman

Prayer

Gracious God,

Life has become so complex and complicated that we often miss the importance of simple living as a means to fulfillment.  We have heard the phrase about living simply so others may simply live, but we often continue to fill our lives with unnecessary clutter.  Guide us to an appreciation of a more, simple lifestyle, taking time to really see the value of having only what we need to live simply.  In gratitude for all we have, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Take an inventory of my belongings, what is necessary for me to keep, and what can I give away to help others live a more fruitful life?
