Extra There are two of us in the house now. Not four or six or eight. We have more than we need. We have an abundance of… How many jackets can we wear? How many shoes for our feet? How many blankets do we store and more? Why do we have so much of this? How did we get all of that? Grab a box, bring a bag, Come let us hurry. There are others in need. This will be easy. Count the people, par for the course, that is the action, that we must take. Stuff is just stuff until it is useful. It takes up space, and keeps you down. Let go! Others will say thank you, and be on about their way. But there lives will be better for, all that you have given… to the core, in his Holy name. Amen.

Yes, we must share our surplus when it is no longer in use.

Yet, we leave them in boxes, thinking we will get to this or that...then it is ruined... I have a new way of late. It is not easy let me tell you. I have to rethink everything. A life changer, is not the best description by any means... lol... Hugs Ann
