I spend my entire week wearing scrubs and workout clothing. So on the weeks where I get to go to church, I really enjoy dressing up. Showing up to Gods House in style. Giving him special treatment in how I present myself in his House. I don't always dress up. But I thoroughly enjoy it when I do! When I dress up, I put on full make up, heels and a dress, curl my hair, spritz on perfume, and donn fancy jewelry that my family or husband have given me. And in my fancy clothes, I almost always feel a bit out of place. People my age don't dress up. I'm almost always over dressed. And I think that's a pure shame. That my generation doesn't take advantage of special occasions or of Sunday's to pull out finer clothing.
God doesn't care what you wear. I know this. And many Sundays I'm glad for it -- when I show up in my jeans and t-shirts. But there is something about looking nice that changes how you carry yourself, how you respect yourself, and thus how you treat others.
I wish more of my generation would dress up and embrace "fancy."
