It really isn't that difficult to take out the trash. I walk out the door and down a 1/2 flight of stairs. But, as I was doing a lot of cooking recently, I didn't always get it out the door right when it should. There was a day that the garbage started swarming with fruit flies...a dead give away that taking the trash out was overdue. Recently, I set aside another bag of garbage to take out in the morning and when I picked it up, there was a 'puddle' underneath. The moral of the story--take out the trash.
Isn't that much like our spiritual lives. I don't find it easy to make changes in my life, even if I know they are things that should be different. But, the longer I let them stay in my heart, mind, soul, the 'dirtier' they become, creating bigger messes, or attracting other bugs.
When are you taking out your trash?
