I’m not at all a religious person (though very spiritual), and I cringe at in-your-face preachiness or religion. And I actually have very little in common with you, aside from frugalness and finding joy in life. That said, I have enjoyed reading your blog for about a year. I think the reason I get along so well with your blog (if that makes sense) is that you are not trying to convert anybody to any belief system (financial, ethical, or religious), but are willing to share nearly anything that is asked of you.

So, thanks for being the type of religious person that I wish all religious people would be – loving, kind, and devoted, without being judgmental, pushy, and/or very much not like Jesus, all while preaching things in his name.

Kristen, thank you for being honest about your walk with Christ, and having the courage to stand up for Him in a world where so many hide. Your light is really shining through! Great post and great blog, I’ve been following it for many months now and I’ve learned bunches! Thank you for teaching me how to be a better steward of what the Lord has given me…God bless!

Thank you Kristen for reminding us in your own humble way to be more Christlike in all that we do! I’ve read your blog here and there for sometime now. I am full-time working mom of 3 and your tips on this blog have inspired and helped me to live a more frugal lifestyle (which do not come natural to me but I have started to enjoy more and more the money-saving aspect of it). Thanks for that! I’m happy about your post today, not only because we share the same faith in God but because it’s great to hear you voice your convictions and be a testimony for Him. Keep up the good work!

Great post Kristen! Thanks for the great reminder and reinforcement. Our sermon Sunday was essentially about serving – our pastor pointed out that Jesus served and wants us to be like him, so if we weren’t serving, we weren’t following. But also, that if we were serving we weren’t really living. It is amazing how serving in some capacity that is truely helpful lights a spark inside a person. Thanks! Oh, can’t wait for the Christmas posts – love your blog.

I’ve “surfed” on from Stephanie’s blog at “Euro Chic.” Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your writing, philosophy and faith. . . and you and your family are absolutely precious! Beautiful people inside and out.

Like Pam, I am an avid (every day) reader but I have never commented. I agree with the others that this is a beautiful post and your simple words inspire me to serve our Lord every day through the people around me.

My husband passed his final test of nursing school today and so ends our extreme frugalness – but I am hoping that we have learned from the experience and (with your tips and tricks) we can continue to live with less (and serve others more)!!!
