Emilie Barnes Quote
Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.-LUKE 12:15One of our universal problems is the overcrowding of our homes. Whether we have an apartment or a six bedroom home, every closet, cupboard, refrigerator, and garage are all crammed with abundance. Some of us have so much that we go out and rent additional storage spaces for our possessions.Bob and I are no different than you. We buy new clothes and cram them into our wardrobes. A new antique goes in the corner, a new quilt hangs over the bed, a new potted plant gathers sunlight by the window. On and on it goes. Pretty soon we feel as though we are closed in with no room to breathe. We continually struggle to keep a balance in our attitudes regarding possessions.It is simpler to manage if you are single andlive alone-it's just you. Life becomes more complicated with a spouse and children. You soon get that bunched in feeling. This creates more stress, and you can lose your cool and blow relationships when your calm is broken.
