Comments on: Living Simply Saturdays- I can’t do it all! http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/09/living-simply-saturdays-i-cant-do-it-all.html Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:25:28 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: vicky http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/09/living-simply-saturdays-i-cant-do-it-all.html/comment-page-1#comment-23606 vicky Tue, 09 Sep 2008 02:23:10 +0000 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/09/living-simply-saturdays-i-cant-do-it-all.html#comment-23606 I can really appreciate this post! We've worked very hard at simplifying our life and let me tell you alot of changes have been made. As any good woman my husband and children come first and as for the rest of it that doesn't pertain to outside activities such as doctors or dentist I make a master list of what I would like to get done, but not so much of a when and it seems to fall in place much better and I do accomplish more. Plus we've found we actually have more family time now. My sons help us in the garden and things like that and after they go to bed it is my time for me, but I only work on small things like cleaning out my purse or planning a few meals. I've learned to save some projects for winter when the world seems to be moving a little slower. I can really appreciate this post!

I found your blog a few weeks ago and have enjoyed reading it... I just requested THE WORN OUT WOMAN from the library and can't wait to get it... just the SECTION that you put in the blog from the book reminded me of me and how much I have wanted to change the way I do things in my life... SO THANKS SO MUCH for posting this today! Thanks so much for sharing this today... I found your blog a few weeks ago and have enjoyed reading it...

Brie, that's a lovely vision. My husband often says something similar- that the good can be the enemy of the best. So true! Yes, Elizabeth, I think you're right.

He showed me a hand that had a ring on each finger. Each ring was extravagant. Any of us would be overjoyed to have such rings! However, what the Lord showed me was that having a ring on each finger was taking the focus off the most important ring...the wedding ring. What the Lord was showing me was that if we fill our life with too much busyness, even good things (the other rings), it will distract us from building our relationship with God (the wedding ring...for we are the Bride of Christ). This convicts me as a mom with 2 children who often fills her life with too much busyness...even if they are good things.
