Peace and Joy

Well, looking over this site my personality is definitely here. Most of the the things I enjoy are here in some way. I only hope I am not the only person aware of this site. I have no comments yet and am hoping someone will care enough to respond to me. It is a beautiful day in every way and I am going out to plant Asters and Mums. Tomorrow I work. I work at a hospital 12-13 hrs a day 3 days a week This week I also had to go in for a mock code (cardiac arrest scenario) . I was almost late;I looked up to see I had 20 min to get to the mock code. I am enjoying using the various technology on this site to express myself! When I work I have no energy left for any thing else except the basics of life. I am looking forward more and more to retirement. Money, now that is another thing. I am trying to get my house paid off in the next 3-5 years. I am paying more than necessary every month. Boy,am I glad I did not get talked in to a larger or more expensive house. My small house,by U.S.A.standards,is satisfactory to me. I look around and I don't know how people are affording those large houses. The bigger the house the more costly the up keep: heating,lighting, new roof, more rooms to paint, etc. I could not deal with large amount of debt. It was like slowly being strangled. I so want a joy and peace, these are the things that are important to me. I have to remember I can't take material things with me. Only those things done in the name of the LORD will stand. I also remind myself when I look at those huge home I have a mansion being prepared for me in Heaven that is better than anything man can build. This gives me peace and a joy and I have no need to envy.
