“Father, please show me my sin.”
I own so many things I do not use. I can easily count things that sit in my
basement or shop that I have not touched in a great while. Some of them I will never use again and I
should make the time to pass them on to others.
The real problem is that I always want more. I always am looking to add to collections or
increase an array of items. Some of the
things are things I “collect” but in the heart of that is that desire to have
the most or best of something. That is
nothing but pride again.
I should be focused on giving things away to those in
need. I need to ponder where this greed
stems from and figure out how to kill it.
Possessions only anchor me to a world that is not my home.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."

oh, the struggle with things. I've been there and it's something I am still working on! It sounds like you are on the right path, as the root is always the biggest concern, when so many focus on the fruit instead.
