Earthly Treasures

In a stay-at-home mom's mind that means 'It's almost Friday!!'
With the weather being so wonderful who isn't filled with hope for another great weekend.

I have a huge 'to do list' for this weekend, including working Friday night, getting up early Saturday morning and heading to Stirling to set up our yard sale than going home to work in the garden. Somewhere in there I will need to relax as well - guess that's what Sunday is for!

Now lets just hope my husband is on the same page. He has been working a lot of weekends so I am just praying that he can maybe possibly stay home to rototiller my garden ;) PLEASE!

Today I went through more closets and cupboards and found more things to bring on Saturday to sell. I found 4 sets of measuring spoons and measuring cups and for some reason we have 6 fry pans in our cupboard?! Not only that but a pile of baby clothes, blankets and shoes. It feels good to finally go through things and start emptying our small home of all this stuff.

My girls always ask me why we have to give their toys away. So I have to explain to them that they don't need this many toys, that they don't even play with them all and that it is good to let other children enjoy them too.

It is hard to let go even for me, like those little baby clothes that was once used by the girls. I think to myself "well maybe I'll just keep it, just in case" or "well maybe I'll just keep it and put it away as a keepsake". The only thing with that is if  I start saving everything I'll start becoming a pack rat!

We are not on the earth forever and we can take it with us either! So better to just let someone enjoy it :)

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." Matthew 6:19
