The phrase says "I don't HAVE to do anything" It's a reminder that everything I do I choose to do. There's no having to do this or that or the world ends. I still am alive whether the grass gets mowed, whether my homework gets done etc. It helps remove the stress from thinking there's so much to do and not enough time to do it in.<BR/><BR/>We're here to have joy, not clean houses, not perfection, not smarts, not so many other things that are considered of top priority. It's also not possible to be happy all of the time, but it makes more sense to be happy. It makes more sense to be happy than healthy.... weird huh? If you're happy then the body can do amazing things that even the most germ-free body can do. I think that works in spiritual realms as well as physical. Perfection seems to be some rigid, free-from-any-kind-of-sin, when it really should be happiness at its best :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17428697345565722837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630761418277094657.post-42631813447329767172008-11-14T17:23:00.000-08:002008-11-14T17:23:00.000-08:00see that's why I love you. little thing like that...see that's why I love you. little thing like that make a big difference.
