Declutter That Mound of Clothing in Your BedroomOpening Bible verse: Matthew 26:26-29
Jesus did not mince His words when He Instituted the Eucharist. He declared that this was His body, this was His blood.
When we have a mound of clothing in our bedrooms, it is indecision. If you want to eliminate and declutter that mound of clothing on the floor, on the chair, on the surface, on the treadmill, ask yourself this, "Is it clean enough to wear again?" That's it. Make a decision and either hang it up to wear again or place it in the hamper to wash.
