			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="TEXT-ALIGN: left">When life isn’t sunshine and lollipops&#8230;</h2>
<p><a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_3383.JPG"></a></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #808080;"><em><img class="aligncenter" title="a rainbow on my doorstep" src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_3383.JPG" alt="a rainbow on my doorstep" width="400" height="300" /></em></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #808080;"><em>Matthew 6:25,33</em></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #808080;"><em>25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?</em></span></p>
<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color: #808080;"><em>33 But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.</em></span></p>
<p>This verse is easy to quote when someone else has lost their job, had a pay cut or faced <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2010/03/more-month-than-money-take-care-of-you-first/" target="_blank">more month than money</a>…but perspective changes when it’s personal.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2009/05/how-do-you-live-on-one-paycheck/" target="_blank">one income </a>is looking at a pay cut. Since we are out of debt except for our house, this isn’t as big a deal for us as some, but it’s still <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2009/08/its-okay-i-have-boys-too/" target="_blank">a handy thing to worry about</a>.</p>
<p> I like this <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">verse</span> promise. It tells us what to do first: look up…pray…thank God for what you <em>do</em> have and then walk on.  Do what you can do&#8211; remember your four walls and <a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/2009/10/sometimes-you-just-gotta-get-your-hands-dirty/" target="_blank">don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty</a>.</p>
<p>Life might take your stuff and your money, but don’t let it take the best part of you ~ your spirit. Get up, look up and walk on.</p>
<p>Just talking to myself.</p>
<p>Simply,</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Sis</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 id="passage_heading">Sleeping dogs&#8230;</h2>
<p>are better left alone. Yes sir, this is one of my favorite verses ever. It&#8217;s so real life and funny. Today I feel yucky. I hate flu. I hate it when the kids are sick and I am too. I just want to go to bed and be left alone. No surprise the Bible has a verse for that.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Proverbs 21:9</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Better to live on a corner of the roof <br />
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.</em></p>
<p>In other words&#8230;run, Ben.</p>
<p>Blessings!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Sis</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ve found Faith is better when it&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Now <strong>faith</strong> is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.&#8221; Hebrews 11:1 </em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-720  aligncenter" title="The Cross." src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/000_0228.jpg" alt="The Cross." width="396" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Faith is different than religion.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Religion, comes with rules.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> When pursuing Faith, you pursue a relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ll choose relationship. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-721    aligncenter" title="The Cross." src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_1430.jpg" alt="The Cross." width="301" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s been said hell is the absence of God.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;ve lived there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t like it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s dark.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><sup>&#8220;</sup>For the wages of sin is death&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_2627.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-723" title="Darkness" src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/100_2627.jpg" alt="Darkness" width="400" height="301" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.&#8221; <em>Romans 6:23</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Which brings light&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-724" title="Light" src="http://reclaimsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/img_0274.jpg" alt="Light" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I don&#8217;t deserve light.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But Jesus said, &#8220;My <strong>grace</strong> is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.&#8221; <em>2 Corinthians 12:9</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And that is more than enough.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It&#8217;s simple.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Happy Easter!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He is Risen!</p>
