Today my family spent some time sorting though piles of "stuff" we have accumulated over the past few weeks, months, and in some cases years.
I don't often have the energy to clean, so when I do I typically focus on one or two small areas and give them a thorough cleaning. The problem with this method is that I tend to focus on the areas that need a deep cleaning the most, and sometimes the rest of the house gets neglected.
I thank God for a husband who is not above cleaning and organizing... at least a couple times a year (especially when the piles belong to him!).
And what better time to clean than during Lent. Sometimes cleaning our outside environment helps us turn inward and clear some spiritual cobwebs as well. For me, it was digging through piles of papers from my desk. Do I really need to save this? Oh no! That was an issue I meant to handle months ago. Oooh, I forgot all about this, excellent! Wow, I don't remember where this came from... you get the idea.
Praying for a "clean house" in more ways than one.
