The  other  day  I  was cleaning  out  the  cabinet  under  the  sink  in  the  bathroom  and  I  found  not  one,  not  two,  not  three,  but  9  unopened  tubes  of  toothpaste  still  in  their  boxes!!  I  called  the  kids  in,  so  they  all  could  see  them,  process  it,  and  realize  that  not  having  enough  toothpaste  is  not  an  issue.  LOL  As  I  looked  and  reorganized under  the  cabinet  I  found  lots  of  soap,  shampoo,  deodorant,  razors,  ect.....  I  am  donating  some  of  them  to  the  "Blessing  Box"  at  church.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I  try  to  be  a  good  steward  of  what  God  has  given us,  but  I  know  that  hoarding  is  not  the  answer.  It  is  okay  to  be  prepared,  but  when  does  preparedness  turn  to  hoarding?   &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks  for  the  great  article!!  :0)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/7307756306092905790/comments/default/5740230874853273673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/7307756306092905790/comments/default/5740230874853273673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.heartofthemattermagazine.com/2008/08/100-done-give-me-simple-life.html?showComment=1218235320000#c5740230874853273673' title=''/><author><name>rural momma</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13959205387717953570</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.heartofthemattermagazine.com/2008/08/100-done-give-me-simple-life.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646552345065536552.post-7307756306092905790' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/posts/default/7307756306092905790' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646552345065536552.post-78664222256644756</id><published>2008-08-08T17:27:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-08T17:27:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>This is so true and something I've come to embrace...</title><content type='html'>This is so true and something I've come to embrace in the last month. I heard or read somewhere that clutter is pile of unmade decisions and it is so true. Even if we are getting free items through frugal shopping habits, what good is it doing us and how much more good could it do someone with an empty pantry? And how good does it feel to share our blessings with others? Bravo!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/7307756306092905790/comments/default/78664222256644756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/7307756306092905790/comments/default/78664222256644756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.heartofthemattermagazine.com/2008/08/100-done-give-me-simple-life.html?showComment=1218230820000#c78664222256644756' title=''/><author><name>Chris &amp;amp; Lisa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14801303722883088371</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.heartofthemattermagazine.com/2008/08/100-done-give-me-simple-life.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2646552345065536552.post-7307756306092905790' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2646552345065536552/posts/default/7307756306092905790' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
