I was in the mall over the weekend and I must have passed 30 or more stores advertising blowout shoe sales. Women were flocking in the stores; almost trampling over each other, yelling "Size 6, Size 7, Size 8". You would have thought that these shoe stores were closing for good and this was the final day they would ever be able to purchase a pair of heels.
All of the "hoopla" got me to thinking. How many shoes were already in their closet? I mean, I love shoes too, but how many shoes are neglected in our closet? And we buy, buy, buy and never think to give away a pair that we haven't worn since 2 summers ago. We fill our closets and before long there is no room for anything else. That is a lot like our lives. We fill our lives with so many things, and we become excited about the new things and neglect the "old shoes" that held us down. In this season of your life make room for the people and things in your life that matter. Just because its on sale and it looks good, doesn't mean its good for you!
