Shopping Spree

“I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed” (Revelation 3:18).

“One of these days I must go shopping…”

I am completely out of self-respect.

I will exchange some self-righteousness for some humility, which is less expensive and wears better.

I need some tolerance which is really “in” this season.

Someone showed me some samples of peace. We are low on that, and one can never have too much.

I must try to match some patience that my neighbor wears. It might look good on me as well.

I’ll try on the garment of long-suffering that they are displaying. I never thought I wanted to wear it, but I feel myself coming to it.

I mustn’t forget to have my sense of appreciation mended with some inexpensive everyday goodness.

I wonder, does my transformation robe need patching a bit?
