Wearable Worth

Me in my favorite blue granny dress posing in front of the climbing roses.

I was about five years old, and might be a little hard to see ... but I'm glowing.

I couldn't find a definition - maybe it's a Kentucky phrase? 

But I'll bet I you know what I'm talking about. 

That particular feeling when you slip that special garment over your head. 

When you look in the mirror and know for sure - you're awesome!

I saw my own boys do the same - not with dresses, of course.

But they each had a piece of clothing which they prized over every other.

 A favorite shirt that was softer than any other,  

a hat, cocked just so, which gave an extra shot of cool,

and the jump-higher, run-faster shorts that saved the day.

How easily we are satisfied with outward garments when
 the worth we have in God's eyes is infinitely greater!

His view of our value is long lasting - 
wearable in every hour,

no matter what we have on our bodies.

Proof verses here.
Post them, tuck them, savor them.
Carry them, whisper them, shout them.

Wear your true worth wherever you go!
