we have a greed
with which we have agreed
You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won’t be free
society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
‘cos when you have more than you think
you need more space
society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me
there’s those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you’re keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can’t do that…
society, you’re a crazy breed
I hope you’re not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me
society, have mercy on me
I hope you’re not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you’re not lonely without me
I do agree with you but sometimes it’s hard…I see it in my kids and me..sometimes the “simple” things do not appeal. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the “worlds” stuff!
I know Sandy. I struggle with it alot. Nobody loves pretty things more than me. We’ve just tried to reign it in a little. A few Christmas gifts versus a gaudy ToyRus display to which they would say “Is that all”.
How crazy! I was just having those same exact thoughts less than two minutes before I sat down and read your post. I was thinking about getting ready for Christmas and more birthdays. I got that panicy feeling like I have SO much shopping to do. Then I remembered we’ve been keeping it simple for several years now. It allows us to not only live within our means but to help others and to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. The holidays become so much more enjoyable!
I think simplicity is such a great lesson for kids. It’s tempting to see the way most of the world celebrates Christmas and feel like we have to follow or our children will feel bad. Instead, I remind them that less is more.
Like it says in Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
I still have a long way to go, there’s a lot I could do to scale back. With all the pretty and fun things we are constantly tempted with, it will probably always be a struggle.

Oh I know it will always be a struggle for me. It’s fun to know that others are trying too though. I’m so schizophrenic that today I feel so convicted about this and tomorrow I’ll be lusting after some gorgeous new something. I guess it’s more a mindset that we know those things will never satisfy! Thanks for your perspective.
I’m totally that way too. Just yesterday I belted off an expensive, long, birthday wish list to my husband. Of course I don’t really want him to buy everything on the list, but it would be fun. I always feel like I must be a hypocrit but I guess I’m just human…imperfect. As long as we keep trying right?
Wow, do we ever struggle with this. We are more & more conscious of it all the time.
We feel like we are being led by God to travel. I mean 'really travel' not the resort kind of travel. I think this will be more magnified with that experience.
HI there, I found your blog tonight (I can’t remember whose I came from, LOL) and I couldn’t agree more. We have always done “simple” Chrismtas’ and birthday’s for our kids. Believe me, they don’t go without and aren’t deprived in anyway! But I just believe that if we have a mountain of gifts, what is there to look forward to and what is actually special?
I have tried to scale back on buying for the neices and nephews as well, but that didn’t go over to well with the family. It’s not that I don’t want to buy them things, it’s that what do they REALLY need? How about taking that money and making a donation to a organization you believe in. Just things that are on my mind as well!
By the way, love your blog! And the story about the 22 week old newborn moved me to tears. I just gave birth to my 3rd child 3 months ago, children are a gift from God. 🙂
Kristi
Another great post, Edie. We try so hard to teach our Things that Christmas is about others. But, do we struggle? Oh yes we do! This world of ours is so tempting. I pray that each year we become less and less selfish and more and more Himfull! Ang
