‘To how much trouble would this simplicity put an end!’ and ‘Be content with leading a simple life...’. How many of us truly do this?

We’ve had a wild couple of months in our household attempting to drastically change the way we live. I have been purging our house of almost everything I can get my hands on. I’m tired of being a manager of stuff and long to live more simply. Simple home, simple food, lots of prayer and lots of work. It has been so liberating!!

To be content with even the best of people, we must be contented with little and bear a great deal.

Isn't this beautiful?

It says that the very few wonderful moments we have with others are worth the very many difficult moments we have with them. As Ten Bears would say, "There is iron in those words."
