| Spiritual Spring Cleaning |

This weekend has been spring cleaning weekend in the Mashburn house. I have shown no mercy. Top to bottom - EVERYTHING must be organized, sorted, cleaned out and looking nice. We've been through closets, drawers, books, toys, everything. We took a van filled to the top to Helping Hands Mission and a van filled to the top to the dump -- yes, to the dump -- *that* was an experience - -a very stinky one - not to mention the thrill of finding a lizard in the van while pulling out this stuff at the dump -- and I couldn't get it out. I do *not* do lizards in my van! I even cleaned the van inside and out. Needless to say, I am exhausted and ready for it to be Monday so I can slow down and just work my regular job!
But... all this spring cleaning got me thinking. I think I often need to do a spiritual spring cleaning in my life. I need to dig down into the depths of my heart and get rid of all that sin in there. Just like there was some "junk" that I was hanging onto around the house that needed to go, there is some sin in my life that I hang on to -- that really needs to go to the dump! I need to get rid of it!
Lord, help me to see all the dirt and sin in my heart, and help me to clean up the dirt and get rid of the sin. |
