People create things. I’m not talking about the things a manufacturing company creates, but the things people create between each other. There isn’t a thing….and then we create a thing.
I have a friend that seems to notice the clothes I wear…I think about what I wear to the point of is it clean and do I basically look appropriate. I mean to be honest there is a little thought that goes into it…but I really do not take it to the point of vanity or over doing it … in my opinion.
But my friend noticed one day that my work shirts had pockets on them…when I bought them I didn’t really pay attention, but then when I put them on there they were so what. But this friend noticed. Then he told me he worries about me because he thought my work clothes were all I had…that I wore them all the time…this he thought til I should up one day at work on my day off.
He seemed to have been putting a whole lot more thought into what I was wearing than I was. Then it happened…I needed some new shirts and I was picking up my usual and the thought flashed through my mind of what would this person say about these shirts. They had made a thing where there wasn’t a thing. I had never really more than superficially worried about what I was buying…now here I was…stalled for a moment…wondering what someone would think about my clothes. Why?
And that is what I’m getting at…no real point here I guess….is that we do this to each other. We worry over other people about something they hardly give a thought to…then one day our worry transfers to them. I’ll forever have this new thing about my clothes…I’m using a simple example, but it could also be someone worrying over our education or how we spend money….or anything. I feel we have to become resilient to letting others’ worries become our own.
Don’t worry….pray without ceasing…be thankful in everything.
