I would not say I'm in love with my stuff, but many may not be able to answer the same way. So, what about you? Are you in love with your stuff?
When I was a little kid, I remember my parents telling me how I reacted to a sermon we heard in church. As the story goes, the minister was preaching about "throwing the garbage out the window" and he was referring to the garbage of your life. Of course, I guess I came home and went around the house that day screaming "Throw The Garbage Out The Window". It sounds cute, but in many ways, it was true. Even though we didn't have much, it always seemed like we had too much stuff that wasn't worth a cent.
Today I saw a video that is an oldie but a goodie and has floated around the social media space for some time. It is about "The Empty Pickle Jar" If you haven't seen this video, take a moment and watch it because it depicts a very balanced way of looking at everything n our life.
When I think of stuff and how much everyone has, I only need to look at other homes in the town we live in. At most homes, the car is sitting outside the garage and if you happen to go by the garage when the door is open, you will quickly see why. There is so much stuff in the garage, that it begs the question, "are you in love with your stuff?"
