Many of us live with the tyranny of measuring-up that keeps us weighed down. Questioning and resisting our busyness culture is hard work! It is definitely swimming against the current, and requires daily help from God and regular encouragement from each other. Perhaps this is what Jesus meant when He called us “salt and light”.
Lightening the load of expectations and “shoulds” is one way to lighten up as well as to literally lighten the clutter that crowds out our serenity. How do we create space to flourish in the ways God intends? How can we “minimalize” our possessions so that they do not possess us?
