The Year I Didn't Want to Buy an Easter Dress by Tracie Miles "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." Colossians 3:2 (ESV)Last year as Easter quickly approached, my daughter Kaitlyn asked me to take her dress shopping, which we've done every year since my daughters were little. We spent hours looking until she finally found the perfect dress. As we were paying, she asked, "Hey Mom, aren't you going to buy an Easter dress this year?" I responded, saying, "I have lots of dresses. I don't really need to spend money on a new one," but my next sentence made my heart skip a beat: "Besides, I'm not that excited about Easter this year anyway." She shrugged with a faint smile and muttered, "Oh, okay," with a little hug as we picked up our bags. |
