I visited a friend the other day
Our conversation trailed all over his house
He was busy doing stuff as we talked
At one point he walked into his garage
So I followed
I was shocked
The amount of junk he was storing was frightening
He could hardly move in his garage
There was certainly no space for his car
It was filled with gardening equipment
Tools
Surfboards
Bikes
Household wares
And boxes beyond belief
He had everything you could possibly imagine, crammed into his garage
I was stunned
My first thoughts were, how expensive it must be to collect all this junk
Secondly, how can you live like that?
But many people do
As life goes on we collect stuff
Stuff that’s valuable
And stuff that’s meaningless
And like my friend, we often hoard the meaningless things that only serve to cramp our lives and take up space in the garage
Here’s the truth…
Much of the stuff we collect, we don’t need
Some of it was probably given to us as a perfect gift
We smile
Say thank you
And pretend the perfect gift was exactly what we wanted
But within one week it ends up in storage
With all the other junk in the garage
I’m guessing you want to your gifts to be meaningful to the people you love
Something they will definitely cherish for life
That will hang pride of place in their home
In the living room
Lounge room
Or even their bedroom
Somewhere they can enjoy it everyday
(Definitely not in the garage)
If you want to tell someone you love them
Here’s an idea…
Buy them an original painting
Created with love and affection
Filled with special meaning
That will hang on their wall
And remind them they’re loved
By you
