It's seems to be one of the hottest colors of the season- Purple! Everywhere you look these days you see something fantastic in some delicious shade of purple. Be it deep, magenta, lilac or just the plain old crayola box purple, it's everywhere.
So naturally, I began a search for the perfect pair of purple shoes. And boy- did I find them! Picture this, 4 inches of the softest suede you would ever want to lay your hands on. But not just suede, they are inter-woven across the top of the foot with varying shades of purple leather spliced in for excitement! This is not just any peep toe pump, they somehow seem to speak volumes about the person who wears them as they so regally decorate the feet.
But what is it about the color purple? It typically signifies all things wealthy and royal. All things of high quality and prestige. We've read the stories in the old testament of the robes and garments of purple and scarlet (we'll talk about scarlet on another day...). even Jesus was adorned in a purple robe.
So I'm feeling alittle purple today. As it gets closer to the day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, I'm feeling regal and wealthy, of high quality and prestige! Why? Hum it could easily be different as I struggle through bronchitis and a horrible case of laryngitis. But then I think about the thing that crossed my mind when I opened my eyes this morning... THANK YOU JESUS. Thank you for your life, your sacrifice and all of the wonderful things I get to enjoy because of a relationship with you.
These are my reasons, probably not the same as yours. But the next time you put on a great pair of purple shoes, or grab your purple bag, put on your lilac scarf or sweater- remember that you are wearing the color of royalty and wealth. Embrace the feeling and own the significance. Go forth in your day with a sense of being set apart, of high quality with great prestige.....
