I think trash is evidence of "stuff". Sometimes, we may think we are somewhat impoverished because we don't have as much "stuff" as others in our circle of friends. Or, perhaps, our "stuff" is not as nice as their "stuff".

The amount of trash we generate has a direct connection to the amount of "stuff" we possess. No "stuff" – no trash!

I know this is not an Einstein moment but I just wanted to remind you that your trash represents prosperity. Various levels, yes, but prosperity for sure!

Food scraps, empty boxes, broken toys, defective pots or pans, paper products, empty food containers, bottles, cans, empty paint buckets, soiled clothes, computer debris, printer trash, yard debris, etc = TRASH! And it all represents possessions.

Try this little thank you prayer the next time you have to take out your trash. "Thank you, Lord, that I am blessed with stuff and have the evidence in this bag of trash. I am grateful for my prosperity."

I pray the Lord blesses you today.

Warmly, in His love and life,

Roland Scroggins
