motherteresa6The more we are in love with Jesus, the more we will love poverty; and the more we love poverty, the more we will know that freedom, that freedom of heart and of all things also… For the more free you are, the more Christlike you will be; and the more Christlike you are, the more loving you will be.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (1910–1997)

    I love this quote! This has been laying on my heart for some months now–the idea of downsizing the amount of possessions I have and living more simply. I never looked at it as freedom but I am sure that sense of freedom is what I will feel with the more stuff I relinquish.
