I've been watching Miss Fisher's Murder mysteries on the abc.  I love to see the beautiful clothes the main character wears.  I was thinking today, that when I get to heaven, I will be able to wear whatever clothes I like;  they might be made from the finest silk with exquisite design and cut;  beautiful soft drapy clothes with lovely colours and accessories.  And there won't be any pain or suffering in my world there, so I will be able to indulge my penchant for beautiful clothes, to my hearts delight, because there will not be the need to give my money instead, to mothers who have not enough food for their children, or villages which have no fresh water, or fathers who can't afford to send their children to school.

But then I thought that really, the clothes I wear in heaven, will be all the treasures I've gathered on earth;  I will be sartorial in all the faith I've kept, the kindness I've done;  the kind words I've spoken;  the times when I've turned away wrath with a gentle reply;  the times I've forgiven those who have hurt me;  there will be thousands of garments to choose from, all spun from the gold and precious stones which I've collected on my earthly journey.
