And the affects of mess is that it can distract us from what is good
Some time ago I visited a garden full of beautiful flowers
But it was not a pleasant place to be
You see that garden was full of fertilizer
Cow manure, blood and bone and it stunk…
The smell distracted me from the beauty of the garden
And the mess in our lives has the same affect on us
The mess in our lives distract us from what is important
Think about it,
when you have a problem in your life
that problem can consume your time and energies
It keeps you away from what is good and helpful
