    What Decluttering a Room Taught Me and How It Will Set You Up For a Relational Win in 2025 with Melinda Patrick {Eps 79}

    We have this room in our home that I affectionately call the gathering room. It rests above our garage and for many years it was a great connecting place with family and friends. In fact that is the original intent of the room. A gathering place for family and friends. A place where we could hang out, play games, watch a movie and relax. A place where we could enjoy laughter and long late-night talks with our children and one day grandchildren. And, that is how the room was for a many years. But overtime, the room became a place to stash and hide things away in a hurry when company came. Which eventually turned into a place where I would store items I didn’t know what to do with  -  always with the mind set: One day I will take the time to get this sorted back out and cleaned up. But …the time didn’t come and I have continued living my life while steadily stashing away items in the bonus room like a squirrel packs his nest for winter. Our hearts can be the same way.   In this episode, I share with you 3 things I learned on this decluttering journey that will also help us declutter our hearts and set us up for relational wins in 2025.  I also share two ways to maintain a clean room and a clean heart along with 3 questions you can ask yourself as you declutter: How well has this attitude, thought, or behavior worked for me? Does this bring me joy in life? Do I want my children to have to deal with this? If you are decluttering a room or your heart this year, let me know.  I would love to cheer you on and prayer for you.  Send me an email:  melinda@melindapatrick.org Also, please share this episode with someone else who may need to be encouraged. Let's start 2025 off with decluttered hearts!
