The Gift of a Quiet Life

Greetings to all. Let's take a moment to thank God for our family, friends, and everyone we meet along the way.

Our culture often tells us that bigger and more is always better. Sometimes, having more family and friends can be a blessing, but having a small circle is also perfectly fine. Still, one of the most spiritual choices we can make as followers of Christ is to simplify our relationships.

1 Thessalonians 4:11 (GW)

11 Also, make it your goal to live quietly, do your work, and earn your own living, as we ordered you.

Lesson:  Living a quiet life takes work, and downsizing our relationships does not mean being unkind, intolerant, or shutting people out. Instead, it means letting go of those who bring chaos and drama into our lives, no matter who they are.
