The simple things are most precious

:: Plain and Simple at the City Museum

I've said this before, and still it never, ever ceases to amaze me how God will confirm to me time and time again, "Sherri, you are on the right path."

Today's field trip was a divine appointment. I really was feeling too sick to go and I waffled back and forth up until the moment we left whether I would go or not. But God provided someone who was willing to drive so I didn't have to manuever that nightmare. He provided a mom who's mom had lupus and who is being tested herself, so she knew very well the limitations of one who looks like everything is well on the outside but on the inside, NOT. She was so helpful. Then, as we meanered thru a retro museum, because there were no seats left in the circus show, I found a book called Plain and Simple, A Woman's Journey to the Amish. Author is Sue Bender. There in the middle of a quirky retro museum, where we would not have been had there been seats left, God lead us there for me to find this book, which practically jumped off the shelf at me. It was so out of place with everything else. I can not get away from the living simple message, no matter where I go or what I do and I'm thrilled. And I've always been curious about the Amish, the Mennonites for their contentment in the plain and simple ways of life. Their loyalty and dedication to the spiritual, their organization and routines, their humble ways of living. I'd recently been looking for books on the Amish and the one which I found is now out of print as far as I've been able to find.

It was a seemingly small event but a confirmation to me nonetheless.

I had the same experience at the beginning of our journey to being plain...with the same book! Another wonderful one by the same author is Everyday Sacred.
I also suggest The Plain Reader and A Plain Life: Walking my Belief by Scott Savage.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us...we're on it too!!
Blessings!
