So, I have noticed that I have developed a pattern I follow almost every day. The first thing I do when I get home, whether it be from school or work or just hanging out, is go into my room, dig out my comfy pajamas and put on my sock booties. If you don’t know what sock booties are, you are really missing out. Anyway, I have this great pair of pajamas that my sister got me for my birthday this year. They are your traditional idea of a good pair of pajamas. They are the kind that button all the way down the front, are really loose all over, and even have pockets on either side of the row of buttons. You know the ones I mean; the perfect pair of pajamas. The best part is that the pattern is a bunch of pink elephants ice skating in the snow. I love these pjs. There is just something comforting about them when I put them on. After a good day or a bad day, I can slip into my pink elephant pjs and relax, care free. And they are so funny that I just can’t help but smile when I see myself in the mirror. My evenings just aren’t the same when those pink elephant pajamas are in the wash, instead of making me comfy.
In a very similar fashion, after an awesome day or after one I thought would never end, there is something beautifully comforting about slipping into the presence of God. I can go home, put on my favorite worship CD, open my Bible and instantly be comforted by the joys of the Lord. Just being humbled in the presence of our Father and giving up your burdens to Him is like coming home and taking off those pinching heels or that frumpy outfit and slipping into your most comfortable pair of pjs. All the stresses of that day just fall to the floor. So at the end of the day, why keep on those scratchy clothes when you could easily trade them in for something much more comforting. After all, the pink elephant pajamas have never failed to comfort me, and something tells me the presence of the Lord won’t let me down either. ;-)
