Simply Living

We all have titles that help identify who we are and what we are called to do. My titles include: mother, wife, Pastor, daughter, daughter-in-law,sister, sister-in-law, aunt, niece, cousin, friend and neighbor...(listed not in any particular order).

It is hard, with limited time and limited resources, to not feel as though I am letting the duties of one area of my life slide in order to spend more focused time in another area. Finding a balanced, simpler way of living can be terribly challenging.

Ecclesiastes 4:6 states: "Better is a handful with quiet than two handfuls with toil, and a chasing after the wind."

It is imperative for all of God's creatures (mothers, fathers, Pastors and people of all walks of life), to find the time for quiet. I believe that sometimes, it is the only time to take a deep breath and to hear the still, small voice of God speak to us.

So today I pray for you, a few moments of quiet to rest and remember that no matter the number of titles you carry, your number one title is "loved, child of God."
