Tip of the Day 2/27/12

Well let's get back to organizing those closets. I was sick for a few days and was not up to posting. So sorry for the delay.

We now have a base of black and white to build on. The only things that should go back into the closet are things you truly love and will wear. More articles of clothing does not create a wardrobe. If you never wear it it is a piece of clutter to remove. Too many women have clothes hanging in their closet that they KNOW they will fit back into someday. We need to enjoy today and wear clothes that will make us feel good and confident now. If you get back to a previous weight you can alter clothes you really like or get new ones. Don't cling to the old, it will drag you down. So decide what your style is, what your color collection looks like, what fits your lifestyle today and put those items back into the closet. Have you changed jobs and need a different style of clothing, more casual or more professional? Are you working less so you don't need 20 "work outfits"? What you spend the most time doing should fill most of your closet. For example, now that I work from home I do not need as many professional pieces of clothing. I have a couple of pairs of nice slacks and skirts and 3 - 4 appropriate tops and jackets to mix and match when needed. Along with a few dresses for church my "professional" wardrobe is complete. The rest of this week will look at what else is needed to fill out your closet.

Word for Today, Free: We all love to get something for free. But if something is offered and we never take possession of it even free doesn't matter. Often we look at a free offer and think it is too good to be true. But when someone offers something for free and gives their very life to guarantee it it should make you think this is real. So why do so many people still not accept the free gift Jesus offers? Are you afraid of what you might have to give up. Well, He didn't ask you to give up anything, He gave up everything to give you the gift of eternal life. "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
