Merry Christmas Folks! It’s my absolute favorite time of year. And even though this season will be hard, it doesn’t make it any less wonderful. We’ll just have to learn to navigate the season with our new “normal.” We will also be spending a substantial amount of time praying for peace, wisdom, and healing.
One of the most wonderful gifts God has brought to me recently is a special visitor. One of my dearest friends from high school, my matron of honor, the Blair that my Kayleigh Blair was named after, has come to stay with me a few days this week. There is little that is better than sitting with someone that not only knows you, but understands you as well. Understanding without words is a gift. Especially now when words are sometimes hard to get out. There are no expectations, just love and support.
And because this is one of my dearest and oldest friends we are spending our time talking, cleaning, and organizing my house. After 7 months of having many different people help us around the house, I can seem to find anything! We also have accumulated many things that just need to be put away. Clutter is everywhere and it is driving me crazy. I just can’t help but feel if I can get my house in order I will feel better.
Then today I open my devotion and it was talking about clutter. Specifically, about decluttering our minds. So often our heads get full of so much junk we don’t have the time to think about our relationship with Christ. We get caught up in all the little things of life and miss what it is God is doing. Just like the clutter in my house makes me feel unsettled so does the clutter in my mind. Gods reminder to me today was that I don’t have to live with the clutter anywhere.
He sent my sweet friend to help me get my house in order. More importantly, God sent His son to get my head and heart in order. What a precious gift from my savior.
Colossians 3:2
Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
These were the awesome people that did no shave November to raise funds for Kayleigh. What an amazing day!
Hi ‘Carrow,
Somehow your blog made its way to me. Sometimes there are just no words, today, I will just say, I am sorry for your loss of your precious daughter. I, too, lost a daughter and have been walking this journey for a long time. Thank you for your inspiring words. Can you tell me the name of your daily devotional your read? I am ready to return to one, just curious! Thank you and take care!
