And the socks, they'll get their own community basket. Everyone's socks in the same basket so that I don't have to sort socks. That's the worst. Except for it's not the worst. Again, thanks for the perspective. xoAnne aka Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613789485828889599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-1024913024601660112013-10-18T23:34:49.037-07:002013-10-18T23:34:49.037-07:00Dear Karrilee

Before apartheid the black people used to have the most poor people, but now there are just as many poor white people. Not that it matters for we are all Pappa's children. But what breaks my heart is the widespread corruption in South Africa from the government to the lowest paid people. The countries economy is going downwards very fast with unemployment reaching scary figures! Thanks for your help for my fellow countrymen.<br />Blessings XX<br />MiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765891733244054084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-37446653717152876042013-10-18T18:42:11.405-07:002013-10-18T18:42:11.405-07:00I don't mind washing, drying or even putting t...I don't mind washing, drying or even putting the clothes away but I hate ironing. However, I do think I need to go a mission to thin out a few things.

And look at the comment mentioning Jen Hatmaker's book - that just makes me GIDDY because in just a few days WE'RE GOING TO SEE HER TOGETHER! Oh girl. I'm just so excited. And blessed, so let me get back to your post before I go off the rails here. We do have so much - I realized that even in the midst of our loss and less in our desert times. For as little as we had, for as much as it felt like we were doing without - we were nowhere near what others around the world do without and go without over the course of their entire life. And my three years of that desert time opened my eyes and my heart just a little bit more to the reality of what needs to be done and needs to be given on behalf of those who really don't have. Love where your heart is going. I want to be there with you!

I also know exactly what you mean about the excess, as well. It has been a pounding theme in my brain for about 2 years now. I was reading about The ancient Greeks, and how even the most wealthy and privileged citizens owed only two tunics. I found myself stopping mid-sentence and started fantasizing about how incrediable owning 2 tunics would be! If you want to be inspired about the holiness and the comedic outcomes about one women cutting out excess you simply MUST read Jen Hatmaker's book: seven.<br />Bless you on your journey,<br />Cheers,<br />LeahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
