I received the following writing from a friend and wanted to pass it along to all the beautiful ladies who read this blog. We have the promise of an eternal future with the King of kings - I want the "fashion" I wear to be a reflection of HIS glory!"WHAT IS HOT FOR SPRING"
Many of us look around as a new season rolls in to see what the new trends will be. Color, styles, accessories, are just a few things we study to see how we measure up and what we need to add to our wardrobe to be considered in style. Okay, even fashionably challenged people like me take a little look here and there to get a taste of what the new look for the season will be. But as I look at the clothes in my closet, I think what is the point? These clothes that were in style are now out and they end up in a trash bag headed for the curb, so that means the next set of in style clothes will be out in a few months and I will be left to give yet another load of unwanted items to my trusty trash man. This cycle has got to stop. Jesus said give NO THOUGHT. There is a new season quickly approaching and I want to study the trends. That season is the coming of the Lord. We may not know the day, but we can know the season and I want to be ready. I want to know what to wear so I will be in style for an eternal fashion show. Maybe I should clothe myself in humility or adorn my lips with kindness. Perhaps I should invest in eternal things that will not wear out or go out of style. Could it be that I need to have my feet shod with the gospel of peace and a helmet of salvation instead of a new Easter ensemble? Its harder than it sounds. Our flesh is always in a state of desiring that we easily confuse with a dire need. So as this new Spring season approaches I want to simplify my life. I want to look for the trends that are in style for my meeting with the King of Kings.

Wow! Makes you stop and wonder, "Am I in style for that eternal fashion style?" Thanks for sharing.
Oops. That was supposed to be fashion show not style.
I do kinda like the "glorious" fashions that come with holy living :}
Like your bright new banner too!
I couldn't agree more. I'm glad I know the One that can help us "fashion" our lives like He wants them to be. "Holy, acceptable unto God...our reasonable service". I can only imagine the "fashion show" He will put on. It sure won't be the clothes we wear down here.
I want to be ready to meet Him! Amen to this post!

Hello, Karla, and thanks for this "fashionable" post.
Oh, yes, do I want to be in the fashion line that marches into Heaven. No other kind of fashion matters at all.
Love you.
