Oh well, better late than never. I am amazed at how much stuff we humans can accumulate.

We had a huge house, but now that it is just the two of us, we needed to downsize. We said we'd never allow ourselves to collect so much stuff again. But, "stuff" seems to accumulate so fast. This time, we're trying to stay ahead of it. : )Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786457482835741494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-10979678438131135462016-03-17T10:36:34.478-04:002016-03-17T10:36:34.478-04:00Love your treasures and the verses you share for S...Love your treasures and the verses you share for Simplify. I know the feeling. We moved in 2007 and went through the same process. Sadly, I think we need to do it again... we kept far too much. I really like the quote that you start this off with. Simplicity brings the important to our attention!

We'll move to our smaller home by this summer if all goes as planned. Storing THINGS and dragging THINGS around is cumbersome and tiring.

In our "busyness" to live life we tend to accumulate "things" that speak of the past. I am also in the midst of decluttering so Matthew 6:19-21 speaks volumes to me. A lifetime of memories should be seared in the heart not in my basement: YES!Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-21545025349692476342016-03-17T07:21:04.268-04:002016-03-17T07:21:04.268-04:00Thank you!

I don't envy your task, but I do envy (with a holy envy) your determination to purge. Thank you for including the Scripture quotes that I didn't connect with this challenging word--especially "Martha, Martha..." and "Do not store up..." I especially love your "punch" line (It really hit me hard!) "Our treasures and hearts should be in heaven, not in our basements!" Thank you for all the reminders/inspirations! Please let us know how your purging progresses and please share any tips along the way!!! God bless you!bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026321265922677556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-33314618146290471602016-03-17T05:01:16.344-04:002016-03-17T05:01:16.344-04:00Here's my link: http://1gratefulteacher.blogsp...Here's my link: http://1gratefulteacher.blogspot.com/2016/03/simplify.html<br />Love the pics of all of the baby clothes and toys!
