Choosing a Simpler LIfe

Ecclesiastes 3:5 - "A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away."

God never intended for you to make completing a-to-do list the purpose of your life. There are many things we think we have to do that really are not worth doing.

Simplifying is really about choices - prioritizing what is important and then sticking to those choices no matter how tempting it is to add more to your to-do list. Put them on a list of things not to do.

You are the only one who can assume responsibility for your time and clarify what is really important to you. You are probably thinking: I have to take care of the kids or I have a report do at school or I have to finish these papers at work.

I know you feel a lot of pressure in your lives from daily living. Think about your activities: things that take priority, put on your to-do list, all others on you not-to-do list.
