Live for the moment is not the same as live as if there is no tomorrow.

Planning for tomorrow with the trust that tomorrow is in His Mighty Hand.

Take treasure the entrusted energy, materials, and means for living.

Be prudent in spending, with His help, live a simple life of worry-free.

Simple Life

simple-life

What is a successful life? Is it,

Fashionable appearance head to toes,

Famous restaurants frequently go,

Decorative home like the Jones,

Elite brand of cars cruising around town!

Somehow to me, they are not attractive,

In fact, I find them stressful.

*

Content is mine, a simple life.

Roof on top of my head,

Garden for my flowers and plants,

Healthy meals on the table,

Time to learn and exercise.

Loving husband to have and to hold,

Precious family so dearly close.

Daily Prompt: Simple
