Simplicity

Fridays are my "fun days". So far, Eli and I are having a blast! I woke up before him this morning and had coffee and got a chance to chat with my hubby. A great way to start the day. After Elis nap this morning we went for an hour and a half walk around town! It is so beautiful out, crisp cool air, no humidity and no mosquitoes!! Beautiful morning walk. We stopped at the library to return some books and pick up another book for myself. Elijah loves the library and loves to read new books. We don't do TV, mainly because its a waste of time and we believe in living a life of simplicity. We do have one, and on occasion we will put in a movie (Eli loves veggie tales) for a nice treat. Books are our escape and entertainment in our household.
 Simplicity is very important to us. Our society has been drivin to  "I need more" when in fact we have more than most of the world. The two things I pray for Elijah and have prayed about since before he was even conceived are: 1. He dies a very very old man who loves Jesus and 2. He does not become a product of this world.
 I pray that he knows whats important and that worldly things do not matter. That he spends his money on things that do.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (NIV, Matthew 6:19-21)
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also......
