Investment Strategies

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 12:34

So that's why when I made myself smile at people I didn't like in junior high, my feelings toward them always improved.

Sometimes I worry (ugh! not supposed to worry) that I have too much invested in my wardrobe in terms of affection. But here are some practical ways that I make my wardrobe bow down to my greater priorities:

• When I dress myself according to universal artistic principles, I am recognizing God's wisdom above the worldly wisdom of the fashion industry.



• I consider the influence my clothing choices have on others.
  
  
• I love to share!

Sharing, however, can get complicated. Life with people is messy. If I loan you something, it is just a temporal item. A pile of threads. If it is ruined in the course of life, oh well.
