Elder's Meditation-September 8

"Keep your life simple because the more you get, the more complicated it becomes."
--Joe Coyhis, STOCKBRIDGE-MUNSEE


The old ones say, lead a simple life. The society we live in is all about getting more houses, cars, luxury and credit cards. The law of worry says, the more you have, the more you need to worry. You get a house, then you need insurance, then you need to take care of the yard and the list goes on. Next, you may want a bigger house with a bigger yard whick costs more in insurance. Along with the accumulation of materialism, are other "gifts." Soon you become a slave and the materialism owns you. Lead a simple life and have peace of mind. Lead a simple life and be spiritual.

Creator, let my foundation be spiritual and simple.

Doug;
I really like this one. For the past year, I've been actively working on simplifying my life. I want the peace of mind. When my house sells, it will be much more simple. I won't have to work as hard to hold onto an albatross. And spirituality is important to me. Materialism can really interfer with that. It takes me away from the Source of my abundance.
Thanks for posting this great reminder of what's important!

Shalom!

I like this reading today, also. The less complicated I keep my life, the happier I am.
