As children, we regularly visited relatives in the former GDR. As there was no central heating, we heated the house in an oven. It was great for me to put wood in the stove, light it and watch and enjoy the warmth for hours. And there was an ash pan in the stove. It was a drawer under the grate where the wood would pile up and burn. The burnt wood fell into this box as ash and it had to be emptied regularly. There were special ash bins for this, just as we collect garbage separately today. If the ash had not been removed, it would have quickly become a mess. In everyday life, our lifestyle also produces a lot of ash due to many influences that are not always good. This also needs to be disposed of. This means forgiveness and reconciliation. In small cases we can do this ourselves. But with big lumps? Where do you find the strength? My relationship with God helps.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
