With the changing of the seasons comes an irresistible urge to also do some rearranging of my own. Whether the leaves are falling off the trees or re-emerging, I find myself compelled to change area rugs, throw down new pillows, put out different vases and generally refresh and renew the interior of my house. (Add that doesn't count the Christmas decorations!)
It energizes me to have a new visual palette to look at. So every 6 months I put away whatever bits and pieces we have been living with, lovingly store them away and eagerly take out the goodies that have been patiently waiting to see the light of day again. It's quite fun.
Am I the only one who needs a change of scenery to get a fresh perspective on things? It's amazing how a change in mindset can make the whole world seem new and different. I find that I need a mental redecorating periodically, if not daily, to keep God's perspective on things. I want to live that perspective and not just look like I do.
