Ever worried about too much house debt? Too much stuff in storage? Wanted a simpler life?

I came across the cutest houses built by the Tumbleweed Tiny House Co, in Sebastopol, CA. They are sturdy structures with attractive styling, a warm friendly feel, an amazing number of amenities inside, and they are transportable. They sell for around $40,000.

The tiny homes caught my eye because I thought, “Wow! Now there’s a simple way to live!”

Housekeeping would be a minimum. There is little house to keep. Imagine how small the utility bills would be? And the cost so much less than a typical house. No staggering debt to labor under.

I thought of Thoreau in his tiny house next to Walden Pond. It was all he felt necessary, to thrive as a writer.

Our basic human needs are very minimal, honestly, when properly appraised. We are spiritual beings which thrive on love, intellectual engagement, thinking, and doing good.

We do not need a large house to live Life. We don’t have to take on a large debt to be happy. (Something sounds wrong here!!) We don’t need scads of consumer items to be content. We already have what we need to be fulfilled built into our being as children of God. It’s our spiritual completeness, our divine wholeness that satisfies. It’s spirituality understood and honored that makes life a joy.

A house of 150 square feet will not meet the needs of most families, but I love the idea it presents. It challenges conventional wisdom that says more is better.

Less is often better. Less debt, less worry, less matter thought-taking…sounds good to me…

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
