Before I came to the convent, I was thinking about the habit. It is important to have one's attention on what one is gaining by joining the religious life, instead of what one is giving up. Yet I was thinking about how I wouldn't be able to dress up like the 80s for an 80s dance-party anymore. This thought came to my mind yesterday, and again, I dismissed the thought.
I was given an old button down white shirt I could wear, except it had a little too much stuff on it for my taste. Sr. Pat tailored it a little bit, and I hung it in my closet, without trying it on. This morning I put it on....and it has puffy sleeves! I considered putting my hair in a side ponytail for an added affect, but I quickly decided against it because I didn't want to distract people in church.
Later in the morning, while cleaning, I put it in a lava-style pony tail, on top of my head. God is so funny! He certainly plays an active role in all of our lives.
This made me think of the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 1:25.
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."
This means that the hilarious nature of God is stronger than human's sense of humor.
This made me laugh. God indeed has a sense of humor. I'm sure he smiles and laughs at our foolishness quite a bit. Prayers for you, Kara!
ReplyDeleteKara, you are one of those people who will bring others to Christ because they will feel his loving nature. I love God's sense of humor too! Love, Aunt Chris
ReplyDeleteGod sure does provide in mysterious ways! It never ceases to amaze me how really true it is that the more you give the more you get.
