The hardest part is not turning into a grump and being civil to people. God and I are workin' on it.Terrie Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16240126602762807975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572068156511483727.post-84739855770525777842013-10-18T13:36:55.778-05:002013-10-18T13:36:55.778-05:00I agree with all your points, Terrie.

I can honestly say, I cannot imagine, as I seldom experience pain, not even a headache. If I'd get a headache out of the blue, I'd think they're was something seriously wrong with me. My mom and sister are plagued with severe headaches.Hutt-Write Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972139441391835088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572068156511483727.post-62978384878618454462013-10-17T17:16:40.185-05:002013-10-17T17:16:40.185-05:00Excellent thoughts, Robin!

We recently toured Casa Loma while visiting Sarah and Aron in Toronto.... 250 rooms and a staff of 40 all for one man, his wife and their one child... what a lesson in over-indulgence! And even though they were a charitable couple...I can't help but think how much more charitable they could have been if not for the care and upkeep of their castle ( which they subsequently lost before it was ever completed) along with the rest of their fortune. I'd much rather live small and give big than have a large house (not to mention all the house work that goes with it!) One of my favorite verses..... Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
