Today's act speaks directly to my confession last week that I have way too much stuff and my desire to 'de-stuff' my life and give away what I don't need...but what will I struggle to part with? Which are the things that I don't need but find comforting to have? If I'm honest there's probably very few things I own which are necessary but in our culture we are not good at travelling lightly through life. My desire is to streamline and simplify. I don't want my legacy in this world to be a housefull of stuff my kids are left to deal with, things that I can send back out in the world that other people need or can use.
[Jesus] said to them, ‘… life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’ (Luke 12:15 NIV)
