The girls’ closet it a treasure trove of beautiful garments.  It is a treat to dress them as the LORD has seen fit to fill their closet to bursting with hand-me-downs.

This lovely morning, they asked Daddy if they could wear these outfits and presented themselves to Mama for her stamp of approval.  I deemed them gorgeous, but pointed out that they would need to wear stockings with these selections.  Neither of them are a fan of stockings, but Katriel had a thought:
”Johanna?  Do you want to wear stockings and you can be Mrs. Claus and I can be an elf?”

Johanna opted to squeeze in another warm-weather dress, as we are enjoying higher than normal temps this October.

Matthew 6:28-30
And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
