What Do I Wear?

Continue enjoying your refreshing, relaxing, FUN summer activities! One of your BIG questions for all your summer doings and goings may be what to wear and do. Sometimes the answer was clear: providing lunch for families @local parks-✅ swimming-✅ hiking-✅mowing lawn-✅

Other times maybe not. How about your cousin’s wedding, classical concert, job interview❓❓❓

With the Bible’s help, we have you covered for what to ‘wear’ now and at all times.

So many retailers, and merchants including car, appliance, lawn equipment, and grocery have been advertising “BACK-to-SCHOOL” sales since the week after schools closed for summer! Perhaps you have started (or will very soon) shopping from your school’s supply list.

Does your school require uniforms? If so, shopping for school clothes has been made simple. So, the outside is ‘covered.’ The Bible helps us with what to ‘put’ on the ‘inside.’

Colossians 3: 12-14 says:

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

All dressed? Are you decked out in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience? If so, that’s a great look on you!
