3 Things to Do with Your Stuff
Is your garage too full to park a car there? Is there no empty room in your closet? Are there no blank spaces on your calendar?
For most of us, we’re full to overflowing. With stuff. With busyness.

We’re looking at the stories of Jesus as we spend #40DaysWithTheStoryteller at Do Not Depart. Today’s readings focus on parables in Luke 12.
Oh, boy. Stuff. There is so much. In our homes and our hearts. Even in my head. Looking forward to your encouragement here!
So. Much. Stuff. Hubby and I are in the process of getting ready to downsize. It feels good to declutter, especially our basement. Luckily, we have a church thrift store (appropriately named Matthew 25) we can donate to.
Oh the stuff….I’m living this out with both girl and boy wardrobes size newborn to 14 in my basement! I’m reminded that sometimes managing it all is hardly worth the money saved by holding onto it…Love this post, Lisa!
No more stuff, have been in simplistic living since 2002 😀 oh what freedom has been found!
Now to convince my hubby with his stuff in his sixty & garage! 😉
Blessings,
Jennifer

Great post and advice! I have had circumstances where I realize that ‘stuff’ is just ‘stuff’. But whenever there’s a time where I want to get rid of stuff, I do make an effort to put it to the best use.
