day no. 14,393: for glory and for beauty

Exodus 28:2
And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

I read this today and thought of my wife. I love how God is concerned with glory and beauty. It is the essence of femininity: the glory of man and the most beautiful of all God's creation. God commanded Aaron's garments to be made beautiful because they were going to enter directly into God's glory. For the reason then of making much of God (glory) skilled workers are to labor and toil to produce beautiful garments to adorn the priest prior to his entering the holy place. It's not all fully baked out, but I hope you can see how the connections were beginning to form in my mind. I like that she puts time into looking nice and that she takes her femininity seriously for the sake of glory and for the sake of beauty.
