Best Dressed
Therefore, as God's chosen people,
Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12 NIV
She stood before the mirror...
checking to be sure everything looked just right.
She loves to raid the 'tickle trunk' and dress up!
I asked her...
'Maggie, is it more important to look nice or to be nice?'
Without hesitation she said,
'To be nice.'
That's my girl!
She cares how she looks...
but she knows that how she acts is more important.
May I be more concerned with being clothed in compassion and kindness...
humility, gentleness and patience...
than about what I am wearing or how my hair looks.
Only then will I be 'best-dressed'!
What a precious story and picture filled with a wonderful life lesson.
