What do u do with _____? What a dilemma!

My 1st dilemma: What do you do with Christmas cards after Christmas? Do you just through them away? I'm not talking about just dumb cards from Hallmark. I'm talking about the cards that everyone sends out now with pictures on them. They are usually of their kids. Sometimes them and their kids and then sometimes a pet makes an appearance. I can't throw them away! I can't throw away a regular picture and I feel like these cards are no different.

Sooooo I am slowly turning into my Gran. I keep putting pictures in a box. They are not organized or properly marked. They are just in a box. Because I feel guilty and can't throw them away.

My 2nd dilemma: What do you do with prayer cards? You know the ones you get from a funeral. They have the person's name, birth date & death date on them. They also usually have a prayer or bible verse or both on the other side. I can't get rid of these either. It seems sacrilegious. There's stuff from the bible on them for Pete's sake. God might appear and strike me dead the minute they touch the garbage can.

He might. Maybe. You don't know.

Unless you do know because you have thrown them away before and nothing happened.

If so, let me know because I have a box of those going too. Just like my Gran.

God help the person who has to clear out my house one day when I'm gone. There are lots of boxes of unexplained things.

They had better think before they throw those prayer cards out.

  1. A good friend of ours puts all the Christmas cards in a bowl on the kitchen table. Each night before dinner they reach in and pick one. Then they pray especially for that family. I've always thought that was amazing.but for mine, they get packed in a box and go into storage w the rest of the Christmas decorations.
