The Simple Life

With the economy in a downward spiral along with our personal finances I find myself returning to my Mennonite roots. The simple lifestyle of learning to be content with what you have. "The Power of Enough" is a great, little reading. The author stresses being a wise steward with our finances and being free. Free to say no, free to do without, free to embrace what you have, free to dream about what you want. I long for a more simple life, maybe someday I'll get there.

Summarizing Mennonite simplicity- Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
