Clut ter \ˈklə-tər\: to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things that impede movement or reduce effectiveness.

I'm a big list person. Haha...sometimes to the extreme, but that's just how I am! On the top of my currant list it says "Clean, de-clutter, and generally fix up bed area" which interpreted means that I need to tidy my bedside table. I have my hope-chest right by my bed and it serves as my bedside table, study area, etc. It's really cozy to sit on my bed, and have all my books, Bibles, journals, lists and note pads right there. But as you can imagine, when things get busy or I get lazy that area can get dusty, jumbled and junky! You can see for yourself why it was on my list!



There were old journals, little scraps of paper with two scriptures jotted down; there were bobby pins and earrings, things that just needed to be put away. As I was dusting and sneezing and putting things away, I got to thinking about how cluttered our own lives can get.

Sometimes it's good to have a mental de-cluttering and cleaning. Throw out all those things that are wearing us down. Sometimes just identifying things that clutter our lives and effect our attitudes make us realize how easy it is to let things bog us down.
And then I thought about dusting. Do we let our cheerfulness and happiness get dusty? Do we need to dust off those little things we're good at and get them back in working order?




So let's get out our dust rags, and let's straighten up our minds and hearts and get back on track. We have a wonderful salvation and hope in God! Let's be smart and de-clutter and thank God for our many blessings! :)
