Keep, donate, toss…

 Keep, donate, toss….


I have been purging some areas of my house, especially old paperwork…but other areas need that attention, too…and someday when my family is going through my things, they will wonder “I wonder why she kept that!”…even though I had purged it…..


The idea is to get rid of the stuff that is not needed 
Iike old tax papers, outdated paperwork…in my case old files of lesson plans….update things that need updating…

Closets, outdated foods, etc…

The words KEEP, DONATE, TOSS…need to be emblazoned across the various piles, boxes, trash cans…

We keep the things that bring us joy and that we need… donate usable things to someone else and trash the rest…

In Colossians, Paul addresses our lives…

TRASH….Put to death…what is earthly…sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, covetousness, anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene talk, lies….

KEEP….Put on….compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, peace, thankfulness, patience, forgiveness, ….love

“DONATE “….  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Col.3.17, 23-24

Thank YOU…


Fun song…
Whatever you do…
