This week I am starting to sort, recycle or discard many items in my home, because I will be downsizing when I move. It is amazing how much we collect in a lifetime, many items with sentimental memories.

I also find many things that I have not used for the last few years and do not plan to use it in the next few years. Away with it!

I can understand better now what many people in this town went through when they moved from a home or farm in to an apartment. It is a personal task to do the sorting and selecting and there is some deep sighing going on.

However, I want to think about Jesus when he lived on this earth. He did not have a home where he could rest. He stayed in many of his friends’ homes and they supplied Him with his needs. But He was happy and full of joy. That’s how I want to feel and freely part with many of my earthly belongings. It is only what I commit to the Lord Jesus Christ that will last till the end.
