This past weekend I went to a vintage show. It was a little disappointing and most things were vastly overpriced - except for this fabulous suitcase! I have always wanted a vintage suitcase but now that I have one I don't know what to do with it.
The outside is just how I like it, but the inside needs some repair.
Which got me thinking - isn't that a lot like people? Our outside may be fine and look just how we'd like it, but our inside needs some work. In this case of the suitcase it is a little worn, a little torn, and a little discolored. The little bits of everything make for a mess. When we allow the little bits of everything get to us, we allow a mess.
At a church I was visiting with a friend a couple weeks ago the preacher said these words that stuck with me,
"Are we more concerned with the inside of our house, or the inside of our house?"
I took this to mean: Am I more concerned about how things look and if they are cleaned up instead of how my attitude and heart are?
The answer is usually a resounding 'YES' for me. I guess its time to pray for a good ol' heart change. There's nothing like that!
In the mean time, I'll go right on ahead and try to find a way to change the inside of my suitcase, too. If you have any suggestions I would love them!
Have a fabulous week. -K
