The Simple Life...Or Is It? (Part I)

The term "the simple life" conjurs up many images in our minds, which could include anything from doing without outdoor plumbing and washing clothes in the river, to the time when moms were homemakers and dads were the provider.  These images might even include summer days, when children heard the bell of an icecream truck and ran from everywhere to buy a dreamscicle or fudgescicle.  Of course, we can't forget lazy days, when the kids were off school and folks sat on their porches or lawns and visited with the neighbors in the evening, while the kids played capture the flag.

These are all great images, but when we look at our own lives, we realize that the days of 'mom staying home and dad going to work' or 'folks sitting on the porch visiting with the neighbors' have been lost somewhere in the shuffle.  Of this fact, I grieve, not only for what we once knew, but also knowing that my children will never experience life as  I did as a child. 

In the introduction of this series I listed some of the definitions of "simple".  One of the first definitions for 'simple' is: easy to understand, deal with, use.  The next definition states: not elaborate or artificial, plain.  My desire for my family is to not only make life simple in the sense that they understand and are able to deal with life in general, but they also realize that to live 'a simple life' includes being real.  How many of us would admit that there are people in our lives now that live in such a way that they are 1) not easy to understand or deal with but they also come across as 2) artificial.  Whenever I run across these types of people, I am reminded that Christ expects us to live our life in such a way that pleases Him.  

Philippians 1:10 says it like this: "That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;"

What I glean from this verse is that we are to be sincere (genuine), not artificial.  We are to live "simply" by way of sincerity.  True sincerity includes the ability to be tested as genuine.  We do not just put on a show, but we are truly genuine - the real deal.  I do not want to live my life in such a way that people look at my life and wonder if I am really who I say I am, or whether or not I live what I speak.  I want to be found genuine, sincere, authentic and "simple".  

What about you?

The Simple Life...or Is it? (Intro)

I have been pondering the term "The Simple Life" for some time now.  I seem to get such a diverse and varied reaction to the term that I was beginning to believe that there is no such thing.  But I believe there can be, with a little effort and some prioritizing.

The word 'simple' is defined as:

1.easy to understand, deal with, use; 2.not elaborate or artificial; plain; 3.not ornate or luxurious; unadorned; 4.unaffected; unassuming; modest; 5.not complicated; 6.not complex or compound; single; 7.occurring or considered alone; mere; bare; 8.free of deceit or guile; sincere; unconditional; 9.common or ordinary; 10.not grand or sophisticated; unpretentious; 11.humble or lowly: 

When reading over these definitions, I came to the realization that this is more than can be included in one post.  So I am going to write a series on what the "simple life" is.  I hope you join me for this series, and come to terms with what "the simple life" means to you and your family.

Bath and Body Works - FREE W/Any Purchase expires 4/21/10

Here's another great Bath and Body Works coupon...purchase ANY item and receive a travel size item FREE!  ($5.00 value) Yes, ANY ITEM!  When they offer these coupons, I will purchase a small item (a votive or another travel size item for under $2.00) and get the travel size item FREE!! 

Last time I was in, they offered a sneak peak of their new scent "Orange Sapphire" in a small lotion for $1.00.  So I purchased the lotion and a travel size item (total value, $6.00) for only $1.00!!  This is another wonderful way to try out new scents without being afraid you won't like it.  If I don't care for it, I'm not out anything!!

My daughter, who is 11, enjoys the travel size items as well.  (I think she likes the smaller size!)  So I always print two coupons so she can use one as well.

Use this in conjunction with the other coupon I posted earlier this week.  They will let you use more than one coupon per visit.  They will just ring it up separately!
