They were always really good at filling it.Pastor Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212838423929588352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773623136948763395.post-78673153751618141342012-02-23T07:39:00.663-06:002012-02-23T07:39:00.663-06:00This is an interesting idea.

I usually try to take something on that will be a reflective practice or helpful to someone.<br /><br />I didn't pick anything this year. I have moved so much that purging items from the house is second nature to me, so I can't really join you, but I like that you have spurred some creative thinking. One suggestion. After Lent is done, consider keeping a donation box. I have a box that every time I decide clothing or other items need to go, I put them in the box and when it's full it goes off to Goodwill or similar. Having growing little kids, my box fills up fast sometimes, but I like the reminder of the box. It reminds me that stuff is just stuff and doesn't provide any security.Jen @ Domesticated Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105428608934664235noreply@blogger.com
