What’s in Your Purse?

Proverbs 1:14  Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

Women do a lot of things in groups….go to the restroom together at parties….get ready for a major date or wedding….decide on a new hair do….BUT they could NEVER put everything in one purse!

Different women ...different purses!

There’s the Mary Poppins gal….you know who I am talking about...she has EVERYTHING in that purse of hers! I mean everything!  From a Q tip to a Capri Sun! She is Mother of the Year. She will pull out a Band-Aid, ibuprofen or ice pack on a field trip….then later a beach towel, an extra pair of water wings and a sewing kit! ( next will be the hall tree and an umbrella!)

There’s the Trendy: Less is More girl….she has a shoulder strap or small wristlet. It contains the bare essentials…. her debit card and drivers license. Maybe a lip gloss.

How about the Grandma Purse? Plenty of Kleenex… hard candy that at some point got “wet” and stuck to some of the Kleenex! Change in the bottom and 3 pair of glasses (one for reading...one for distance and sunglasses). Grocery receipts, hankie and loads of expired coupons!

Designer Diva….doesn't matter what’s inside it is the name brand that counts! LOL! However inside it the matching keychain...wallet and phone cover! Matchy/Matchy!

As Christians I was thinking what do we have in our “purses”?

Do we carry….

A smile ….for someone that needs a friendly reminder that they are loved?

A shoulder to cry on...for someone that needs understanding?

A word of praise… to lift spirits?

A hug….saying I love you!

A listening ear...saying I am here for you!

Maybe your purse is too little and you only carry what YOU need! Why not get a bigger PURSE so you can be more like a “Mary Poppins”...and keep pulling everything out...for the needs of those around you!

Happy Purse Shopping! :)
