Tip of the Day 3/5/12
Now that your clothes closet is cleaned out it is a good time to tackle the other closets in the house. A good place to start is the coat closet since we are approaching the end of winter. Of course you wouldn't know that looking outside our window. LOL. The first step is to take out all coats that were not worn this season. Determine why you did not wear it, does it have loose buttons so you just keep hanging it back up, is it too small, etc. If you will use it if in good repair then fix it, otherwise get rid of it. Clean out pockets, wash or take coats to dry cleaners as appropriate. Match up pairs of gloves and toss any that do not have a mate. Wash all hats, gloves, and scarves. Place each in containers on shelf. Covered shoeboxes or plastic baskets work well to contain the clutter. Hang coats in closet divided by person if you have children at home. Use color coordinated hangers for each child so they know where to return the coat to. This will help with getting everyone out of the house more promptly. The key for this closet is to not return anything to it that is not in good repair. You WILL forget it if you hang it back up. This is an easy task to accomplish.
Word for Today, Overwhelmed: Yesterday I read my favorite Psalm during our time of worship, Psalm 61. As I began reading one of my devotional books this morning there was the same Psalm. I had a rough day and night on Saturday and I find great comfort in remembering how big my God is and that I am safe in Him. When it all seems like too much there is One you can turn to and He will shelter you from the storm. "When my heart is overwhelmed, please lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
