Dear Friends in Christ -
Well, it's Holy Week. Technically we're still in the 40 days of Lent, but I'm thinking that I may not make my goal. I've gotten rid of 25 boxes, bags and bins of things, but that's still 15 shy of my goal of 40. Unless something truly miraculous happens, I'm not going to make it.
I'm working at feeling OK about the failure, while still scheming on ways to cart cart things off the property. God keeps whispering in my ear that it's more important to notice what He's already tried to teach me than to dwell on whether or not the last boxes, bins and bags make their way to Goodwill or the dump.
Lesson #1 - This mess took more than 40 days to happen, so it's probably going to take more than 40 days to clean it up.
Lesson #2 - Just because I'm healthier than I have been in years and CAN do more, doesn't mean I SHOULD do more.
Lesson #3 - Listen to Mary Poppins sage advice, "Enough is a good as a feast," and learn to be satisfied with what's done rather than dwelling on what's undone.
Pray that I may hear and heed God's invitation to newness, and know that I'm praying the same for you.
Blessings,
Janet+
