What touched me was the filling of our barns with ourselves. I always thought of it as focusing on our possessions with some thought to the passions of our heart.
Your prayer was beautiful and heartfelt, Jean.
Thank you.
Blessings,
Janis

That one is a terrible enemy! “Self”can never be changed, only exchanged.

Yes, I do think that I store up crazy stuff thinking I’ll use it later. All it ends up doing is filling some crammed barn. Better to let it all go!

Lovely prayer at the end of your reflection!

It’s a great time to empty myself so I can be stuffed with Christ instead of me.
