[Greetings]
Gail Richmond
It happens every year. We want to clear out things we don't use and renew the
things we do use. Spring brings a desire for bright clean uncluttered space. The
sun is bright, flowers are blooming and according to my Mother I can wear white
shoes and clothes again.
I pulled down a dusty box off the shelf to see what was in inside. I blow the
dust off the box which tells me I had not opened it for a while. I didn't know
what was inside. I was looking forward to finding something good that I had
forgotten about.
I opened the box and inside were greeting cards from friends and family. They
made me smile and remember all the good times of the last year. After reading
them and feeling the love and affection I took the cards out and put them in the
waste basket because I know they love me and there will be more cards. Along
with the cards there were written material, some knick-knacks and other things I
wanted to keep at the time. I took everything else out of the box and as always
there was some change in the bottom. I keep a few things and left plenty of
space to fill with new things. I found places for the old items to go and put
the box back on the shelf.
That box is like me. The greeting cards reminds me of how God loves me and
often sends a message to let me know how much. I savor that feeling of love and
connection. The useless items were like useless ideas like fear, negative
thinking, hate and darkness from my ego. The few coins represent lack. The
clutter is a distraction from God's plan for me. I can not see the Divine order
with clutter.
So, that is why a good cleaning is needed for me as well. When I clean out my
mind and make room for spiritual growth and love and joy and prosperity I am
clean and bright. I am able to being open to new lessons and
experiences.
I
feel lighter and renewed as spring comes again. I am ready to fill me up. Spring
is here!!!
