Think on these things

By Joyce Sequichie Hifler 

Clutter bugs the daylights out of me, and I think it does most people. Our biggest problem is that we think it will take a week to do away with one little thing of clutter. We may not have a week to spend on one thing - we think. But it did not get there in a week and it cannot be done away with in a week.

Clutter bugs the daylights out of me, and I think it does most people. Our biggest problem is that we think it will take a week to do away with one little thing of clutter. We may not have a week to spend on one thing – we think. But it did not get there in a week and it cannot be done away with in a week.

Clutter is like food, we don’t gobble a whole meal in seconds, we do it a bit at a time. So it is with putting things in order. We cannot hire someone to take care of our little bits, they don’t know where it goes and it just gets moved again. But if we claim Diine Order and begin to move things to their right place we will soon see order.

Some of us take on more than we can do, so it is up to us to say no to the too much. Say no and stick to it. Claim order and watch it obey. To obey is a part of our thinking, and just because our mothers are not here to insist, we must insist ourselves.
