This morning while visiting blogs, upon the recommendation of my daughter Lauren,
I visited a beautiful blog
titled
August Fields.
The very first post I read this morning
stopped me in my tracks.
The blogger, Sara , a lovely young mother of 5,
shared a Lenten practice
she honors.
40 Bags in 40 Days. Preparing For Easter.
The idea is perfect in its simplicity.
Clear out a bag a day of whatever is blocking
those spaces
in our homes and in our hearts.
The link is here,
but here is an
excerpt.
“…this can be a time to clear the house and make more room for God.”
Your visit will be worth every single moment you spend there.
And then, on another note,
there is her house.
Oh my.
Sarah graciously mentions in her post that she first heard about 40 bags in 40 Days
from Sarah
It all comes full circle.
Sarah of Memories on Clover Lane
is one of the first bloggers I emailed,
when I first started blogging,
with several questions about blogging and photography.

I am off to fill some bags!

That is an adorable blog and I love this idea.
I read both posts before I came back here to Thank You for pointing me over there...
I think that I will start tomorrow... 1st praying over it, but I am pretty sure this is just what I needed...
Thanks again for the recommendation!!

A most beautiful idea. I'm off to check it out. Thanks.
40 BAGS, 40 days, clean and clear... sounds good to me! Have a blessed evening, HUGS!
Great post dear Laura!
Hugs,

I think I even have bag overload ... I'll have to fill some bags with bags ...
I guess I'm just a bag lady.
Definitely visiting ... TY Laura. Have missed you.
Happy St. Patrick's Day ~

I'm so glad I read this tonight - I'm going to do the same thing, and blog about it next week.
A wonderful way to celebrate the Lenten spirit! Thanks for sending us all over to see her wonderful thoughts and photos!
What a great idea! I already have seven bags of stuff, ready to go to Goodwill, so what's another 33! Thanks for sharing!
Talk about edit and edify! I love this idea and since I've already started cleaning out...this will give it real purpose. Thanks for sending me over.

laura, thank you for the kind words and for spreading this idea! i am so excited that people are jumping on board!
Now, that is a terrific idea! I have no doubt that I can do that. I'm off to check out her blog.
Happy weekend!
I love the idea of 40 bags in 40 days...I think it may make it easier to part with items I no longer need or use...thanks for the post, Laura.
