“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday; August 27, 2008

          Every-once-in-a-while we’ll get busy around the house or we’ll find ourselves in a situation where we start to be enveloped by clutter.  It starts off innocent enough, the dresser will collect knick-knacks … then the tables will fill up … then before long, it’s like walking through a maze.  Interestingly enough, clutter multiplies.  The more we allow, the more we ignore and soon, we become overwhelmed.

         There is a parallel in our lives.  There are times when we start to let the little things pile up in us.  We begin to be bothered by something and we forget about it.  Then, we start working on bettering our lives and we fail, so we let it go.  Like a cluttered house, in a cluttered life, the more we let things go, the more they pile up on us.

         Are we feeling “yucky” about our lives; but, don’t really have a major issue?  Are we constantly irritated; but, don’t seem to have a valid reason?  Maybe it’s not what we are doing that’s causing a problem; maybe, it’s the accumulation of things we leave undone.

         Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
