I was so glad to read this, as the weather here has gotten to the 40′s in the morning and I was thinking about wearing some pants while jogging (before daylight). After reading it, yes, I was wearing pants UNDER my jumper .

We have so enjoyed these Christopher! We read them during a meal time and have wonderful discussions afterwards with the children. Thank you for taking your time to write them. I do hope there are some more!
And Maxwell Family, I DID make the pumpkin dessert Monday night for supper (don’t worry…I made some food too to go with it ), and it was wonderful! I cut the pieces small (well, Daniel and I got a little bit bigger of a piece) so we had enough for a treat for the next day too. Everyone LOVED it and asked if I could make it instead of pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. It is so similar to the recipe that I use to have. I think the only difference that I can remember is the other recipe had crushed walnuts mixed in the crust and sprinkled on top so it had a bit of a crunch to it. But this was so yummy! We really enjoyed it!
love,
Jaynee

I so agree. Isn't it also true that our clothing is just as important while at home? I believe what we wear around home ("when no one is watching") is just as vital to consider. Thanks for sharing. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It is so very true, especialy when one considers what it impresses on the hearts of those who are most important to us, our family. It was a bit beyond the scope of the analogy and I suspect that is why Christopher didn't include it. Steve

Excellent post! We have two small daughters and it’s amazing to us the styles of clothing for adults, let alone CHILDREN! This is why I make a large percentage of what we wear.

Blessings–

Thank you Christopher for this message that I so needed today.God’s timing is perfect!(Details in e-mail sent to your parents).
I so agree and we need to encourage each other in this most important and privileged work – Ambassadors for Christ!
I hadn’t read any of your entries up until this point,but I’m going to go back and read them.
God Bless.

As a Christian mother of two girls I appreciate these types of blog posts influencing the blogosphere. I encourage my girls to dress appropriately and modestly in a world more concerned with what’s “in”. It will be a good tool to introduce the role we have as Ambassadors for Christ in this world. To be in the world and not of it. To be unafraid of making a stand. To do what is right in the eyes of God and not man. Thank you Christopher for this excellent teaching series on how to be an Ambassador. I look forward to the next installment!

Thankyou for this post. I think that proper clothing is always in the back of my mind. What we wear speaks loudly about what we believe whether we like it or not. Here I am in my old, comfy jeans, a wrinkly t-shirt, and dirty tennis shoes, ready to go out on a short shopping trip. After reading your post, I think I will return to my closet for something better to wear. Thankyou.

I know your family is very busy, but an exhaustive reference to every Scripture which gives insight into clothing would be appreciated. Maybe you could publish a small booklet with them.
