Perhaps we could consider it spurring one on to good works? I was always taught to dress up for church as a form of honoring God with my best. Sort of like not going to meet the president in your cut off's and flip flops. It is also person's best is different for each one and we are to do our best ...not judge what may or may not be another's best.

Somehow, it feels right dressing up to go worship God. <br /><br />If I were going to a friend's graduation, I would dress up so her party would look great and important. When I go praise God and encourage others to keep the faith, I want to look like it's important to me.Anne Lyken-Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425485414456096031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-38944522333326674032011-10-17T00:17:38.530-07:002011-10-17T00:17:38.530-07:00Oh Lea I have missed you and your charming words. ...Oh Lea I have missed you and your charming words.

(of course there were special birthday dresses and Christmas dresses as well.)Back then I would never dream to go to church in my everyday clothes.<br /><br />Now there's not this much difference. Shorts, sandals and tank tops are definitely what I appreciate in church though.<br />I guess it's a matter of cultural differences.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-82332088218336583332011-10-16T20:53:44.024-07:002011-10-16T20:53:44.024-07:00Oh that's cute!

And I believe in dressing up with what you have, to be professional, clean and neat, but again, to use what you have. Some teachers go in to work with sweat shirts and sneakers, and I guess I can understand that to a point; one wants to be comfortable! But I believe in pearls and heals, skirts and some accessories and people actually ENJOY seeing someone dressed up! I hope your family members are well and THANK YOU FOR VISITING with such a kind word! SO NICE TO SEE YOU!
