I had a conversation with a friend yesterday talking about being a minimalist in possessions so that we can give more to God and to the Kingdom. I must confess as I looked at shoes yesterday, I desperately need a few new pairs, I found myself wanting to by one of everything I could wear(a challenge since my foot is a size 14 4E). Then I read this from Ecclesiastes this morning, "Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless--like chasing the wind."

Sometimes it's humbling to be reminded that God knows my heart and thoughts better than I do.
