Little by little

Have you ever noticed how just a little bit by little bit our homes become consumed by useless garbage?

I really didn't think I had much TO throw out. What a surprise! An entire packing box filled with pure garbage. Hardly have I gone through the spare/school/clothes room to find this stuff just taking up space.

Now I am certain ill find heaps more.

But consider, how quickly does the garbage in our hearts, in our heads, amongst our relationships add up to become all consuming rubbish blocking that which is honouring, worthy, pure, clean, acceptable to us and we want for our life, our children's lives and those around us.
I'm talking about forgiving that teacher in third grade, the students who laughed at you, that boy friend who cheated on you, the pastor who taught you something wrong, and yourself. For not being quite as perfect as you'd like yourself to be.

I'm talking about letting go of that baggage you carry around.

I'm talking about clearing your head. Emptying your heart and moving along with life freely, freer, free.

(And this is all great! Coming from me).
