Wow, Just what I needed! I have been trying to declutter my closets and all the house. I have a large home that can hold it, But who needs so much?? So what I have done is give ALOT away to those who have little. One is my neice that lives far away from me. But I shipped out ALL she liked while she was here on a visit with me, As my nephew passed away two weeks ago, which is her brother. So this made her happy, As she has had it rough, but she really is a faithful servant of the lord. So i have decited to help those less fortanate with my abundance of finery. god's blessings.

I needed this article. I have a very cluttered house and life. I will look into the bible study and work on decluttering it. I give this article 5 stars I just can't get them to show up. Thank you for the article.
