Bag Lady

Back when I was in elementary school my gramma told me, "When you get
older, the weeks will fly by and the months and years as well."  I couldn't imagine it!

Well, of course she was right!


Friday, here it is again! Cinnamon Roll Friday at the Larson's.  Thankful for the round cans...
I started this tradition when the boys went to St. Mary's as a celebration that they made it through another week of school!  I made up 2 cans of rolls so the boys could bring some wrapped in tinfoil for
warmth conservation to Sharon,  the bus driver.  Fun memories...I bet she misses them.  :)


How are y'all doing on the bags?  I started a challenge of 40 bags in 40 days!  This means that you clean
out an area every day for 40 days, put in a bag, and get rid of it.

In my datebook I have written what the I have purged each day starting Monday, January 27.

Bag #1 Purses

#2 Jackets

#3 Bags (a bag of bags! Ha!)

#4 Donation of Mary & Martha to St. Mary's

#5 Luggage

#6 will be Bag of old hangers


I tell you...this is addicting!  In a good way, of course.  Liberating.

Here are a couple of books I have read on this clutter issue. I like to get
the Kindle Version books...less to de-clutter later!!!

Miss Minimalist, Francine Jay (now this one is a little more radical...but thought provoking)

There is plenty said about possessions in The Word as well!

Luke 12:33-34

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

³³ “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys. ³⁴ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

  Winging It: Hard Sayings - "Sell all your possessions"

The above is a blog I found on this subject.  Good read.


So, where is your treasure Amy?  This is definitely a heart issue to be examined.
Search me, and know my heart of God, test me and know my anxious thoughts. Ps 139:23

Happy Weekend everyone!

Sincerely yours...The Bag Lady ;)
