Living the Simple Life

Living a life that is simple
Helps us to learn to be a stronger
Make moderation a principle
We'll find that we may live longer

Control the pursuit of excess wealth
'Rich is better' is an assumption
The formula for a happy life
Make 'quality time' a compulsion

When needless desires take control
And wants in life are causing us stress
It's time to be more conservative
I guarantee we'll find happiness

True happiness comes from above
A gift that God placed in our souls
Let's take a look, we'll find it there
Use it well and we'll soon feel whole

All our money cannot buy love
God given love just can't be bought
Though it may gain us attention
It's not the real comfort we've sought

An outstanding write Paul, this poem speaks much wisdom. The Bible has much to say about the rich; in Proverbs 16:8 it says "Better to have little, with godliness, than to be rich and dishonest." I don't know who is really rich, I guess it's whom we compare. Even some of the poorest folks in the USA are considered among the top 5 percent of the wealthest people in the world. I just came from places in Turkey and Egypt where a few square feet of dirt that can be farmed is highly treasured. Over there if you have many ducks, you are considered very wealthy. We have a group of folks in our church who pick up day old bread and pastries twice a week a local supermarket and give the goods away to less wealthy folks that are still richer that the majority of folks in of this world. We Americans are truly blessed. Yours in Christ, John Michael

You are right, rich is probably not better, but I surely would love to try it just once...e

Money will buy many things but happiness is not among them. On the other hand it's the s**ts to be broke all the time;-) Patrick
