A New Color and Look

I've been packing for days now. It seems like the more I pack, the only thing that happens is that boxes get spread everywhere and I have more opportunities to stub my toe. Where did I get all this stuff? I don't need most of it, and yet its hard to get rid of cause I think, maybe one day I will need that. Or, there are the paper cuttings that I have from China, for 3 years now they have layed on my TV stand. I should throw them away, but everytime that I pick them up to do it, I remember China, and think how beautiful they are and I just cant. Maybe I can frame them....
And some how I have started a cleaner collection. I have 5 bottles of bathroom cleaner. 5! Why? I don't know that either. And then there are all those little things.....matches, index cards, stickers, papers, and the list goes on and on. There isn't a place for them, but I don't want to throw it away. Alas, but it does make me thank God for all the blessings He gives me. I don't need this stuff, I could live with a 1/10th of it, but I am blessed to have it all. I can see myself being like Jack from the movie 'Titanic'. There was a part in the movie where someone asked where he lived and he said "right now, the RMS Titanic." and the other person thought that was just horrible. But to him, he said, "I've got air in my lungs, and some blank sheets of paper." What else did he need? Nothing. And the same thing goes for us all. Im not saying we should all be wanderers, or Nomads, as a lady at church calls me, but for some of us, we don't need a house, or stuff. God says to look at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. They are worth so much less than us, yet God feeds them and takes care of them. How much more will He care for us? I don't need half the stuff around me, all I need is some air and blank sheets of paper.
