Today is Tuesday, March 10, 2009
This is the thirteenth day of the 2009 40 trash bag challenge. The challenge is an opportunity to remove the excess clutter and “stuff” from our lives. The excess can be given away, sold, donated or trashed. The first goal is to let go; the second goal is to bless others.
Today I am going through the dishes and the knickknacks. So many things end up in our homes, souveniers, gifts, things we picked up here and there that serve no purpose, are not enjoyed and are just around because we haven’t gotten to the point where we are ready to let them go. Today is a day to let go, let those things we care little for go to some charity we value so that they may bless others.
Quote for the day: “Who except God can give you peace? Has the world ever been able to satisfy the heart?” – St. Gerard Majella

I believe this is my first visit to your blog, and I love the idea of the 40 bag challenge!! I just started on our Lenten Cleaning, and this would tie in perfectly! I think I will join you. =)
