In a couple of days we'll be heading down to Florida. Today my to-do list includes finishing up laundry and beginning the packing for that trip. And that leads to the "what to wear" question. That may be one of the hardest parts of getting ready for a trip......deciding what clothes to take. How many clothes to pack, wanting enough but not too many, trying to have the right clothes for whatever the weather might be. All those sorts of questions. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
My devotions this morning led me to a different "what to wear" list. Not a list about which belt or which blouse or how many pairs of shoes. This is a different sort of list.
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." (Colossians 3:12-14 ESV)
That sounds like the perfect "what to wear" list. Because aren't those the qualities that matter far more than what earrings you are wearing?
Something to think about.
