Early spring is the season of intentional giving and sacrifices as we approach Easter.  Getting organized around your home can help fulfill these seasonal traditions.  Here are some tips on intentional organizing:

Plan the amount you will give to a charity, organization or family in need.  Whether it is one item or one bag for forty days to charity, or an amount of money, set a goal.

Purge items by donating items to charity

Box for charity.

Reach deeper into your own resources by allowing yourself to let go of items that are holding you back.  This could be a sweater that was expensive, but no longer serves you.  Maybe you have piece of exercise equipment that is collecting dust in the basement waiting for that day you start an exercise program.  Items that are valuable, but no longer useful to you, are excellent ways to dig deep into giving.

Cleanse your pantry of food items that are indulgences or could be donated to a food pantry.

Pray that your household will best serve the needs of your family and nothing more.  Remove the items that don’t fit your needs.
