| This isn't something that we want to think about~but comeone lets face it 100% of us are going to die~sometime.
Think about all of the stuff you would be leaving behind for your loved ones to sort thru??
Why not toss while you are still the boss of your stuff?? Hey if it is junk get rid of it~ If you want someone to have it give it to them.
Most of ya'll know my Mother passed away almost 7 years ago after a 2 year battle with breast cancer. Would you believe that my Father still hasn't gone thru her stuff?? Her closet is still full of her clothes and shoes. Her dresser drawers still have all of her undercloths and such in there too! The only thing we have went thru was her jewelry so that we knew what was there....But think about this! What will happen if something happend to my Dad?? I will be dealing with the grief of my Mother along with my Dad! ( I really need to talk with my Dad about this very subject~please pray that he understands)
I suppose what I'm trying to say is this~noone cares about your stuff like you do! I have alot of yarn~do you think my family know how much I have invested it all of that stuff?? No~do you think they care??? No~I could see it all going to Salvation Army once I'm gone~Why am I hording all of the yarn?? Do I think I will possible use every last bit??
Once I'm gone I will have no control over anything~and besides in Heaven I don't think I will want to crochet! I will have to take my harp lessons!
Comeon ya'll lighten the loads now~if you don't USE it then LOSE it or~Do your giving while you are living~so you will be knowing where it is going
Some stuff to think about~
