The Reason For The Title...

     

 I thought I would start off by telling you why I chose the title for my blog that I did....

 First, I want to give you the definitions for the words simple & pleasure...(I have
 been spending a lot of time looking up what words really mean but that is for a
 different post.....I have a feeling my posts will always be long...)

 I know the Bible definition of simple is not a good one, but that's not why I chose
 the word simple.....I like Webster's definitions ~ plain, unadorned; natural; not
 complex. That fits me.... it's who I am...plain, unadorned, natural.

 The word pleasure has the same meaning in the Bible (at least some places) that
 Webster's has ~ delight... and I'll stop right there.  Pleasure brings great joy (that's
 the definition of delight in Webster's)... I'll stop with definitions now.

 So why the title? Well, for a long time I had been thinking about starting a blog to
 share things I am learning or have learned AND since all three of my daughters have
 a blog AND they mentioned the simple life AND so I kept thinking about this simple
 life...THEN I read two quotes in a magazine & one on a church sign about simple
 pleasures! And so there it was or is? Ma's Simple Pleasures.... just like the pictures
 of the flowers above...just plain, unadorned, natural flowers that bring pleasure ~
 great joy!

 It also reminded me of the verse in Psalm 16... " at thy right hand there are
 PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE ..." Great joy that our God gives!  This in itself
 is an idea for another post.... think about those three words... pleasures for
 evermore!

 So I hope to bring you delight ~ great joy, as I share with you from my heart the
 plain, natural, unadorned....simple things....that bring great pleasure to me in this
 life God has given...
