Focus on the Simple!

So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

~Matthew 6:34 

 

This week, we have spent time focusing on the Simplicity that Christ taught.  Imagine a world where we would be able to live a simple life.  It IS possible, believe it or not.  Life is pretty simple: We take in nourishment, expel waste, the rest is added extras.

I went to the Doctor for my annual physical last year and was told I needed to lose weight.  Then he started rattling of the whole counting carb, proteins, calories, timing, and a lot of other stuff that mad my head spin.  Finally, I asked for a SIMPLE plan that even I could follow.  His response?  "If you like eating it, stop!"  Can't get much simpler than that.  Pretty much I CAN eat anything I dislike (like termites, tree bark, old rubber tires, etc.).  

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was focusing on meals that had not taken place yet and it was stressing me to the point I was getting crabby.  I was getting crabby about something that had yet to happen.  So......deep breath.....embrace the WOOSAH!  Focus on today!  

You see, Jesus taught us well when He taught us to live simply!  We are given life one moment at a time!  Why rush it?  We can only take one breath at a time! Why waste it?

Make your life one worth remembering instead of being one of stress and hurry!
