An Empty Attic by Raymond A. Foss

When I read
the words of Matthew
I thought about what it would be like
if my attic was empty,
things stored away
gotten rid of, given away
thrown away
Starting over,
simpler, less cluttered
more focused
on the things of heaven
Maybe we all should
rethink our stuff
for this passage is clear
and our treasure is often boxed
and never touched
When it should be used
for his glory
reaching out, in love
to the world
