Cleaning My House in 2009

Here is a great follow up to "Get Your House In Order." It was sent to me the day after the posting....do you think that's just coincidence? Me neither....more like a "God-incidence" wouldn't you say? It's a great follow-up piece. I've made some slight changes to it in order for it to tie in a little bit more with "Get Your House In Order."

Thank you Lord for this wonderful piece and for the person who listened carefully to the promptings of your Holy Spirit while writing down these words. AMEN!

Last Week I threw out WORRYING, it was getting old and in the way.

It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST(Didn't have time to read it anyway).

Replaced it with NEW GOALS as set forth in the Bible, started reading it today.

I threw out UNFORGIVENESS, BITTERNESS, PRIDE and BAD MEMORIES, (Remember how I treasured them so)?

Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY of God's will to do, threw out my own from long ago.

Brought in some new books too, inspired by Christ, called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.


Threw out I MIGHT, I THINK and I OUGHT. WOW, you should've seen the dust.

I ran across an OLD FRIEND, I hadn't talked to in a while. His name is GOD THE Father, and I really like HIS style.

He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things HIMSELF.

Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE, Yes... I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door.

I FOUND IT-it's called PEACE. Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice. Looks good around the place.

For things like Worry and Trouble there just isn't any space.

It's good to do a little house cleaning, Get rid of the things on the shelf.

It sure makes things brighter; maybe you should ...TRY IT YOURSELF!

Be Blessed and Be a blessing to someone else!!!

I hope you were blessed by these words....what a great way to start "getting your house in order" wouldn't you say?

What steps have you taken to get your house in order? What other steps is God showing you to take?

May your life shine bright the light of Christ as you "get your house in order."

In Christ's love,
