Wow. What a journey we've taken! Hopefully, you have cleared out some things you can do without, learned some new skills (laundry detergent, anyone?), and made some strides in taming the "gotta have" monster that visits us all. My prayer is that you have experienced a new level of contentment and even excitement over not having to have more "stuff"!
So, what else do we do with this new approach to life? Give. By learning to live with less, you have freed up more that can now be given. Your time. Your talents. And your treasure. GIVE it away.
Someone once said "it is impossible to outgive God". I can attest to that as a solid truth. Luke 6:38 says "GIVE, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you in return."
I love what John Wesley, the great preacher of the 1700's, said - "When I have money, I give it away quickly , lest it find a way into my heart. "
Spend less. Save. Give more. Then give some more. Again. You will always be glad for what you have given away.
