The joy in simplicity came to my mind while I was home last night with my sweet kidos. Like many other Single Mamas, I run a tight ship on an even tighter budget. If you come to our home you won't find internet or cable tv. Shoot... you won't even find cell phone service unless you're standing on your head, in just the right spot, and holding your breath while you dial :) But if you had dropped in on us last night, you would have found what looked like a comedy show in our living room full of love, laughter and lip sync! It was a great night! So simple, happy an uncomplicated. Not every night is exactly like this of course. I mean, I am raising two amazing teens so perfect peace and harmony are not always present in our home ;) My family has experienced our share of envy, jealousy, selfishness and struggle. But through that we are growing! We are finding the joy of simple contentment. We try not to focus on the things we don't have. Thinking about the have nots instead of the haves will most definitely steal your Joy! Choose Joy is my motto for this year and I pray it sticks with my family to become our forethought for life. So today I challenge you to choose simplicity, be content and accept the Joy that can come with these choices. Philippians 4:11-13
