How, you say? I'm so glad you asked!
Once a year, my church designates Sunday and encourages our members to get out in the community and give of their time and energy to help our city. It can be anything from helping someone with yard work, caring for a family in need or picking up trash on the side of the road. This time, I wasn't sure how I was going to pitch in. There were several different opportunities and I had planned to fill in where needed.
Plans changed when we woke up this morning and Caroline did not feel so well. Working outside or away from the house would be out of the question. I started wondering how I could help from my house. Quickly, I thought of my closet. I had been meaning to get in there and clean it out, but had put it off. Until now. Today was the day. I set to work and spent the majority of the day sorting, folding and packing.
The picture above is what I gathered and I don't even have a walk in closet! Wow! It totaled 3 bags to give away and 1 bag of trash.
Then I started on Caroline's closet. That amounted to a couple more bags. It struck me how much stuff we accumulate over a short period of time. We have so much and easily forget this fact. I hope that this overflow will help others in one way or another. It was an easy task that I hope God will take and multiply many times over.
