Ditch the dude AND the duds....What to do with your ex's stuff!

 










 Okay, so you're probably reading this for one of many reasons but the most popular of these would be because you're still holding on to the useless threads of an ex. I mean come on, he gave you his favorite hoodie when he went on a business trip and you slept with it just because it smelled like him! Or maybe you liked wearing his big t-shirts and sweats because it made you feel comfortable and tiny. Whatever the case, you broke up and now you're stuck with his stuff on top of a heartache if it's a fresh split, yikes!

So what are you going to do?

Well, if it's fresh you'll probably hold them tight and cry then get mad and throw them across the room.

-OR-

If you're a little crazy you may even consider burning them. After all he did break your heart!

-But-

If you're like me you'll round them up in a pile and think to yourself...."What now?!"


Well, I'll tell you what now and it's rather simple.

DONATE THEM!

Yes, round up all of those clothes you don't need, want or have no business keeping and donate them to an organization that will give them to someone who REALLY needs them.

Not only will you be rid of the duds (the clothes and the boy) but you will feel slightly better about your life and yourself for doing something positive. An act of kindness in a heartbreaking situation can be your silver lining!

Here are a few verses for meditation:

Philippians 2:4 - Look out for Others Interests
"...do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.


Galatians 6:2 - Help with Burdens of others
"Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ."


Luke 6:38 - Rewards for Giving
"Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, they will pour into your lap. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."
