Since we had the floors replaced in my parents’ room, we decided it was the time to sort through everything in there. Some of the items were painful memories of my dad’s time in the memory care center. Getting things ready to donate was also a sorrowful reminder that my mother is no longer here. But I have been trying to allow the feelings to come as I work. And I put on my Christian music and sing along. That really does help put my mind and spirit in a better place. I didn’t want to have to keep going back to the closets full of things, so I have just been plowing through. Sorting, donating, putting things aside to keep or try to sell, and organizing as I go. As difficult as it has been, it does feel good to make progress. I do feel there is healing in it.

I Found God today making some progress organizing the house.
