So you
have a closet and you have drawers and clothing to go in both, but what is the
best way to care for clothing? The first thing to do is clean out your
closet. If you're like most women and men you have clothing that hasn't
been worn in a year. Besides overstuffed closets mean wrinkled clothing. If you
can say "yes" to this you need to do some gleaning. We all have more
clothing than we can wear in a month's time and there are people who don't have
more than one change of clothing. Gluttony isn't necessarily just about
food. We as American believers are surrounded with plenty and it's easy to
tune out the poor with a gift here and an offering there. But if we were
to be honest with ourselves we'd realize that stuff can become idols and we need
to kill our idols. So venture into those closets and fill a few black
garbage bags with items that are over a year old. Also, get rid of clothes
that are more than one size different from where you are. If the clothes
are bigger definitely get rid of them (unless you're underweight). No need
to plan for failure. Now let's sort what is left. Here are some
categories of clothing to help you make a sort:
