We donated my dad’s clothes to a shelter (West Midland Family Center) and it felt so good knowing his clothes were going to help another man in need.
As you can see from the second picture, he had very little. The two boxes on the floor and the laundry basket were the contents of his entire closet/dresser drawer. And it got me to thinking of all the “stuff” we accumulate in our closets. I can say this because I am a woman, but it’s usually us women who have an over abundance of clothes. I was guilty of this for many years. Buying the next new shirt/pants/jeans/purse (my personal demon!) etc. .jpg)
was excitement. Now, thanks be to God, my excitement comes from seeing our 372 kids in Kenya eating, playing with a soccer ball that was donated to them, hearing their excitement of going to school!
It wasn’t my idea or strength to curb my want for “things”, it was the Holy Spirit. Opening my heart up to Him and His purpose for my life gave me that determination. It’s not easy, I have to rely on His strength moment by moment every day but what a blessing the past few years have been in service to Him!
