Giving Always Makes Room for More

This past week, I have been given the opportunity to give some things away.
As I look around, I have held on to items that once belonged to my children as infants. I said I would not have more so I am not sure why I kept holding on.
As I started to dig deeper, I began to realize that I was holding onto my children’s infancy. I think one reason why is because I struggled with conceiving and once they finally arrived, I did not want to let them grow up.
I know it seems weird (especially when they are growing before my eyes), but to look back at those little dresses and shirts made me nostalgic and remember when they first came home.
This past week, I had a revelation. Not by my own thoughts, but by the thoughts of my four year old daughter.
That very week, I packed up a big bag of baby wear and donated it to Project Eden(a not for profit organization that is dedicated to the rebuilding of Haiti).
I felt as though I was cleansed and could now see clearly.
My daughter showed me by giving away something that I held on to allowed me to be free from living in the past and to look forward to the future.
Life is about moving forward.

Giving always makes room for more!
