... Loving Through Our Daily Living

Christian Simple Living is a way of life that is based on Jesus’ teachings of compassion, love, and service. It is a radical way of living that does not conform to our profit-obsessed consumer culture, but rather frees us to live joyfully in the service of others.

By following Christ into a simpler, more compassionate way of living we hope to contribute toward a more peaceful, socially just, healthier, and environmentally sustainable world.

When Family and Friends Don’t Get It     

One of my biggest disappointments in trying to live simply has been having some family and friends not get the whole idea. One of the readers of the blog asked for suggestions on how to handle this issue yesterday and I decided it was definitely worth a post rather than just a reply.

As I’ve pointed out on our web pages, it really helps to have a community of people, or at least a supportive group around us to help pursue simple living. It gives us strength and courage as well as ideas and tools for living simply and with joy.

Conversely, having people close to us who don’t get it or actively oppose our effort is a serious drag.
