“Not that you should own nothing, but that no thing should own you.” Minimalism

There are many areas in our lives that could benefit from a good pruning. Someone has said, “if it doesn’t matter, get rid of it.” It is probably a wise habit to consider all the stuff that weighs us down in life--not only possessions, but bad attitudes and even bad habits. Throw or give away possessions you do not need. Stop giving time to things that waste your time. Start giving energy to those attitudes and activities that produce lasting value. Consider not only the worth of our purchases, but also the work they will require from us to own them.

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 3/24/2017
