Good morning world. Oh my goodness, a busy day ahead of us. Need to get feed this morning, probably should have done that Saturday. But that was my melt down day. Then we will have school. After that, concentrate on getting the clothes dealt with. This year, I am going to be getting rid of things I have been hanging onto for some time. I know the rule is if a piece of clothing has not been worn in a year (some do 6 months), then it goes. I do that to a certain extent. However, if it was something I loved or "might" get back into, I have kept it. On the other hand, I do not do that.
We were given some clothes for the boys a year or so ago. These are shirts that are a men's extra large. I can not see my boys fitting into them any time soon. Why am I keeping these? I know a family they will fit now. So out they will go.
I am hoping to pare down the number of containers to less than 10. Can it be done, of course. Can I do it? Questionable.
Monday's weekly chores will be done today also. Weekly blessing of the house and laundry. Although laundry will be sheets and towels. The rest will either wait until tomorrow or if I have time later tonight. That way I will not be overwhelmed with clothes.
"3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Philippians 2:3 NIV
I need to remember this as I go through my day today, especially after what happened with me on Saturday. I need to remember that my keeping house blesses my family and making a home is my first ministry.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
