40 days of Lent - Battle the Clutter

Today's Lenten Thought

March 22 - Today is March 22 - Clear out some clutter by finding 22 things in your home to give away, throw away or recycle.

Hey! and I have a great idea - bring those 22 (or less) useable items to Salem UCC tonight after 6:00 PM and I will add it to our Flea Market & Spring Craft Fair that we are having tomorrow, Saturday, March 23 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM  at Third and Walnut Streets  in Catasauqua.  Nothing like a shameless plug!

I myself have a few items to donate - I don't think there are 22 items in the box - maybe 10, but who knows what I could find before I leave to go set up.

Clearing out clutter is always a good idea - clearing space around us also helps us to clear our minds.  Plus, something we might have and not want could be a blessing for someone else.

40 days of Lent - Clear the clutter

Today's Lenten thought -

March 11 - Clear out come of life's clutter.  Make a plan or take a first step toward quitting a bad habit.

I wonder what they mean.  I probably have a lot of bad habits that I don't think are bad habits.  Okay I am a chocoholic - but is it bad?

I am all for clearing out clutter though, too much clutter and I can't think straight. 

I read this on another site -  http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5171/3-Tips-to-Clear-Clutter-Transform-Your-Life.html

"If you are ready for a break-through in your life, I highly recommend you set aside some time to begin clearing away the clutter in your life. Once you have cleared your clutter, you will feel amazing; happier, lighter and free!

This is because as you clear up the physical clutter in your life, you are literally healing yourself from the inside. This creates space and possibility for the “new” to enter your life."

 

Well - that sounds absolutely lenten doesn't it!
