When our son was little we had those periodical times of purging the trash (now he does it himself :)).<BR/>You are right, we sometimes have to purge the trash in our hearts, but also hold on to the treasures we have collected along the way.<BR/><BR/>Be blessed today and always.eph2810https://www.blogger.com/profile/09285857197237988640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-78489290890418924502007-07-07T09:32:00.000-05:002007-07-07T09:32:00.000-05:00Your thoughts were a Blessing.

Your discription of the event made me smile and makes me remember my own packrat son and daughter too. Photograph every minute. Then you'll have more to purge later but those photo's will be treasures that I think will Bless you later. Thanks for your post it did Bless me.<BR/>SherryGrantham lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387790078628520531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-53302927642832296272007-07-07T09:08:00.000-05:002007-07-07T09:08:00.000-05:00I love those little boys' treasures.

My little girls keep little treasure boxes filled with things they think are treasures: beads, feathers, odd assortment of outdoor things. Those are real treasures.<BR/>Yes, purging it all is a balance.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247035131903329580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-73405429971973212332007-07-06T23:55:00.000-05:002007-07-06T23:55:00.000-05:00Dearest Daughter:In your own inimitable way, you r...Dearest Daughter:<BR/>In your own inimitable way, you restate for us the awesomeness of God's call of "putting to death the deeds of the flesh" (Rom. 8:13). How very like our children we are - calling something a treasure that is really trash in the Eyes of the One Who Calls us. Yet He treats us with the gentleness and thoughtfulness that you exemplify with your boys - firmly yet lovingly leading them through the process until they are ready to let go - repent - throw away. And they feel the release and the freshness that comes! <BR/><BR/>How Great a Father we have! You can teach them the steps of dealing with sin, and of growing in holiness - the sanctification process - because He has been leading you down the same road. Keep leading them! Keep following Him!<BR/><BR/>Love, PapaPapahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129700786292976679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-71640267397855389722007-07-06T20:30:00.000-05:002007-07-06T20:30:00.000-05:00Oh, our boys would get along so well...I have so m...Oh, our boys <EM>would</EM> get along so well...<BR/><BR/>I have so much to purge from my life and heart and I should let my children help decide what should go, as I often help them.
