Be Encouraged

Be encouraged my friend. When I start feeling overwhelmed with all the work to accomplish in a day, I think back to our ancestors and all the work they had to do simply to survive. When I reminisce about the past, I feel so grateful. I’m thankful for the technology like electricity, washing machines, crock pots, blenders, wheat grinders, etc. that have made our lives so much easier. My kitchen is full of appliances that help us to get a nutrient dense, healthy meal on the table, three times a day, quickly and efficiently. I don’t even have to run outside to collect water from the old hand pump. I will confess that I’m tempted often to say yes to too many things in this modern world filled with so many opportunities, but I have prioritized my values, and one of those priorities is providing health food to my family. While I don’t like saying no to myself or others, there are times when I must. I will admit that it’s taken a lot of failures and health issues to get where we are today. I have witnessed and experienced the difference that this makes! Do you have a modern technology that you can’t imagine not having? We would love to hear from you!
