Emotional Spring Cleaning


Last Week I threw out Worrying, it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.

I threw out those Inhibitions; they were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth, got rid of my old dreams and doubts.

I threw out a book on MY PAST (didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals, started reading them today.

I threw out Hate and Bad Memories, (remember how I treasured them so?)
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago.

Brought in some new books too, called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought. (WOW, You should've seen the dust.)

I ran across and OLD FRIEND I haven't seen in a while.
His name is GOD, and "Yes!", I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself,
Like PRAYER and HOPE and FAITH, Yes I placed them right on the shelf.

I placed a special thing called PEACE right at the front door.
Now, I'm happy to say, nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice - Feels good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble, I no longer have to face.

Its good to do a little house cleaning, get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter. Maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
