My husband told me he was working on clutter in our kitchen while I was in Illinois a couple weeks ago. I was highly enthusiastic and supportive when he told me that. Unspoken to him, I hoped that meant he would get rid of stuff we don't use any more.
When I returned he had, in fact, purchased a large table with shelving to store all the things he termed clutter. Nothing was gotten rid of, it was just rearranged to look better.
I groused to myself ... and then had a big realization.
Do you know this Bible verse?
Why do you see the splinter that's in your brother or sister's eye, but don't notice the log in your own eye? Matthew 7:3
I realized that I have a lot of clutter in several of "my" spaces in our house and I had best get working on the log in my own eye.
