#AdventBookClub: Day 35: Begin/End

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

A simple thought from today, which had never occurred to me before today – significant events at the the beginning/end of Jesus’ life took place in borrowed rooms (the stable/the upper room) … Jesus ‘slummed it’ along with us – never making a home of his own.

Also totally understanding Maggi’s feeling re decluttering … too much stuff making me feel trapped/weighed down … although it has taken many years to declutter after many years of clutter, but ironically – having a place of my own has given the head space for that – no more “I’ll just hold onto it in case I want it in my own house”.

This saying has become very familiar:

Have-Nothing-In-Your-House
