A Reason for Modesty
Posted by Hannah Beth"True, all our lives long we shall be bound to restrain our soul and keep it low; and what then? For the books we read shall one day be endowed with wisdom and knowledge. For the music we will not listen to, we shall join in the song of the redeemed. For the pictures from which we turn, we shall gaze unabashed on the beatific vision. For the companionship we shun, we shall be welcomed with angelic society and the communion of the triumphant saints. For the amusements we avoid, we shall keep the supreme jubilee. For the pleasures we miss, we shall abide in the rapture of heaven. It cannot be much of a hardship to dress modestly at a small cost, rather than richly and fashionably if with conviction we are awaiting the white robes of the redeemed."

Thanks for posting this quote! It is very encouraging to read something that reminds us that it'll all be worth it in the end!
Yes, I completely agree!! We often lose sight of the end goal and it is then that we stumble. But great reminders like this help us keep our eyes on the end result!! :o)

Wonderful quote! We need to always look at the "big picture" when making decisions about what to do or wear.
