Your delightful newsletter title had me remembering my youth, when my mother made a big deal of spring cleaning. I began writing about it in this email, but it got too long, so I decided to make it a story instead. Anyway, it conjured up some memories — I was going to say “fond memories,” but I don’t have much fondness when I remember cleaning.

In reply to Larry. I just realized that when we reach our final home, we won't need any sentimental stuff in our heavenly home. Jesus will be all we need. These sentimental stuff are for those who come after us.

I’m laughing so hard while reading your memories of being a pack rat. I read my horoscope when I was 40 years old and it said, never collect inanimate objects because they collect you. My advice to you is slowly but surely just keep emptying the barrels in your garage to the garbage then and you won’t have a problem in your garage. Once you achieve that, if you feel lonely, you can come over to my garage and organize it if you want. Of course there will be no pay so the incentive would just have to come from your sweet self.

Sorry about your grandmothers house, as far as getting rid of your memories, DON’T!

I lost all my daughters stuff, from her life baby shoes to her college years. I miss looking at her stuff.

Me Too
I was a collector. I kept so many old things. Including all my vinyl LP’s.

Over time that addiction to things started to fade away. I gave all my LP’s to Son Ministries.

I contact the Veterans to pick up old clutter. I need to go through my clothes and get rid of all the old T-Shirts and clothes that no longer fit.

Although with my recent weight loss. I may need some again.

In our house in Mount Prospect, Illinois, my Father had tons of junk in our basement. Mimeograph machines, before copiers, typewriters, various tools, adding machines, cameras and dark room equipment.

Yes, possessions become a burden. Yes, spiritual freedom can be realized when you free yourself from possessions.
