Spring Cleaning in August?

Okay so we are in the process of moving, and that means there has to be some clean up. As you know, once your start packing you start finding things that you forgot you had. Then you ask yourself, "What was I saving this menu from Taco Bell for ?" .....trash can...."Oh look, there is that missing PART to that old vcr that we don't have anymore!".....trash can...."What exactly is THIS??"....trash can.

Aside from all of that stuff that you find you no longer need, you find something else amongst all the other stuff.....dust. Even if you may be vigilant in your Spring cleaning and get down on the floor and move heavy furniture to clean, over time the dust tends to collect anyway.

So it is a misadventure to say the least....:o)

The good news is we are on track and making fast progress to vacating our old apartment, are we moving to a new house??? Not yet, but we are holding on and buckling in because we know God has something great in store for us.

As I close this update, let me leave you with the prayer my oldest son says most often at dinner time:

"Thank you Father for this food,
Thank you Father for this day,
Thank you Father for blessing us,
And thank you Father for all the blessings to come.
Amen."


Amen, indeed!!

When you say "spring cleaning" I am reminded of the constant need for "spiritual cleaning." My trash can is filling up too; I've been experiencing impatience, and wrestling with worry for the past of couple of weeks. What am I doing holding on to this kind of stuff?...trash can. The good news about spring cleaning with our Lord is--he is available all year round; we don't have to wait until spring arrives to get rid of the internal clutter. Thank you heavenly Father for sending your Son Jesus.
