That reminds me of the time I was invited to a youth service and my mother made me wear my best dress. Everyone else was in jeans. The horror.

The answer is, God doesn't care what we wear, mommies do.

Sorry to barge in but...
To continue on this train of thought... after Daddy gave her money for the collection plate and while she was placing in the plate she asked in a rather loud whisper. " What does Jesus need my money for?"
She is her father's daughter. I remember a similar question from him one Sunday. Only he continued on to say "I'll just give it to Dad he counts it anyway"
