As I type this, I am sitting in our rented 1,784 square foot house..and I feel swallowed up. This house is SO big! I think I have "mentally" already moved into our new home.
I look around and I see "stuff" that will probably not make the move with us, and it doesn't sadden me... I'm excited! I feel like this is a new start for our family...a fresh beginning. Where we are in control... not the materials in our life.
Our culture tries to push the "bigger is better" attitude on us.. and so many people buy into it! They need the HUGE house, and MASSIVE car, the LARGE combo meal and the ENORMOUS bank account.
Where have our priorities gone?
What about the simpleness of being.. just being. The joy of family together...laughing, dancing, singing. The love that each one of us can be filled with if we just would allow it. I think that removing the "layers" of unnecessary would give room for so much more.. more than we can imagine.
My hearts sings as I glance into the future..of what we are going to be giving to our boys, of what we will experience together because our lives are simple, joyful and full.
We will not be packing our rooms with "stuff" but with life and love.
