Our tree is up,
the lights are glowing,
Christmas-cheer-cup
overflowing.
Presents wrapped and

ready for the first
big snow.
Candles lit and
spirits bright,
Christ, come into
our home tonight.
Merry Christmas, readers!

Stuff can so easily accumulate and clutter.
But this post isn’t about capsule wardrobes, donating to charity or living simply (all good things, though). It’s about continuously choosing joy  while decluttering our minds and homes – with God’s love, through God’s love, for the love of our families.
Doing the dishes is by far my least favorite chore. Even after making a delicious, enjoyable and beautiful meal for my family, the visual stress of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink can send me completely over the edge. And worse, sometimes doing the dishes can bring out the great, dreaded “R” word — resentment.
