Sitting in my coffee shop yesterday, I had a mix of happiness with a bit of nostalgic sadness.
It was nice to sit in my coffee shop after teaching my morning class, catch up on blogging, and tell some jokes. Top it off with the mug they gave me to use for the day had dolphins on it. Dolphins are something I want to see in person someday. As a child, a popular show was Flipper about a dolphin. When I swam on a swim team, each time I swam butterfly, I thought of dolphins because the butterfly stroke has motion to it that made me think of dolphins.
Alas but the sad nostalgia part. As I went to sit in the booth, my shirt caught on the table edge and tore a bit. It is my favorite shirt. I have worn it two or three times a week. Yes, I washed it between wearing. It is not fancy, but sure is comfortable. Now due to the way it tore, it has become a shirt I will only wear under a sweater.
Then I realized something. I think I have become one of those old guys who will repeatedly wear something because it is comfortable.
But I also knew the day was coming that it would have to be retired from the rotation of shirts I wear because due to slowly losing weight, it has become too big. A scary thought is eventually I will need to buy some better fitting shirts. Shopping is a bad word for me.
It makes me wonder about when we are clothed in white robes in heaven worshiping Jesus. Will we need to do laundry and wash said robes? It seems to me that laundry would not be a need in heaven. I am confident the robes will be more comfortable than my shirt.
What do you think?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
