Day 4 – The Family Room Today we are tackling one of the messiest rooms in the house. The Family Room. Take a deep breath and let’s get to it!! Grab four tubs or boxes and label them: “Toss”, “Donate”, “Keep” and “Relocate”. Keep is for items that will stay in this room. Relocate is for things that need to go somewhere else in the house. Starting in a corner, work your way around the room. Clear off the top of each horizontal surface and empty out every drawer. Put the items in the appropriate bins.

But, we are on this mission to organize our homes and taking a day for this room is still extremely useful. Decluttering… If you have clutter or objects that do…

Why We Feel the Backlash from the World…
This verse, John 7:7, drew my attention last week. Jesus made it clear why the world hates Him. Also, as Christians, it’s really God (Jesus Christ) that they hate, whom we represent. The reason for their hatred is evident. People don’t want to believe in God (Jesus Christ) because His light reveals their darkness. Their sin. If people can label themselves as atheists, they won’t have to feel accountable for their sin.
