Yes we did! Also for Sunday school!

Absolutely; always white gloves, mantilla in place, skirts below the knee. But somehow as young as 10 I wondered how Jesus in his sandals and scraps robe would judge me if not white gloves ad mantilla...

When I lost my faith 01-Oct-2017, fell to my knees not knowing if my daughters were alive or not, and waited, I knew Jesus wouldn't care I was in my Ozzy T-shirt and warm socks; he knew we needed him and he was there; no dress code...

Your right, he is there for us no matter what, when or where. He also touched what was considered a lot of unclean people. 

I'm talking about the respect you show when you go to visit a person at their house.

You said lost, I do hope that is a time passed, and a new word is to be used today.

   …What you wrote reminded me of a passage in Samuel.  That man sees the outward appearance, but that God sees the heart.

I appreciate that you shared this with all of us - truly.  And yes, throughout the course of my life, with its ebbs and flows of personal belief, he has heard me too.

Still do. Mother taught me that you wore the best you had when you went to visit the Lord. I'm not real crazy about the dress codes at churches these days.

25% of the women look like they are going too or coming from a honky tonk. At least that amount of men look like they are fixing to tee off. 

When our pastor (never a tie) lets one of the younger ministers give the sermon about half of them were t-shoes. I don't care how much they cost, they are t-shoes.

I know, old fashion and out of touch.😀

[LisaS961881]

Well, if you are old-fashioned and out of touch, then so am I! 😀. I found myself nodding in agreement at what you wrote! 👏🏻

I recently attended a service where the Pastor preached while wearing a zip front hoodie and T-shoes.  I found it very off-putting that he was dressed in clothes I’d only wear gardening or walking.  I’ll admit that I felt guilty feeling this way, and internally chastised myself.

  I agree with you.  I feel it is a matter of  (if you have chosen to attend a service) respecting that the Church is a place of reverence and significance.

Don't feel bad about how you feel. The Bible says to give your best to the Lord and I take that to also mean how you come to him. God told Abraham to give his best. God told the Jews that their sacrifices were sick and lame, and they were sent into slavery for allowing it to happen. I don't know how much cleared it can be made that he expects our best.

My sister n law who is an ordained minister puts' it this way. What would you wear if you were going to a State Dinner at the White House? Lot of people need to answer that question while getting dressed for church.

[LisaS961881]

Oh yes!  
   White patent leather shoes with buckles, dress with a crinoline slip underneath, white gloves and a hat or chapel veil from Easter until Labor Day.

There were some bad days mixed in with those "Good ole Days."

This was one of them.

I think it is the #1 drink on the ISS.

Foot stool!

[KellytheBelly]

A hassock, footstool, ottoman, or pouf. My parents used them to prop up their feet, or to place their knitting needles and yarn project, even newspapers. 🙂

P.S. Forgot about the cats... definitely made for cats. lol

[papawofboo]

Made for a good TV tray also.

When you got these, it meant no more blocks of ice and chipping ice with an ice pick.

Played with these as a kid.  Can you imagine seeing something like this on the shelf today?  You could put someone's eye out! 🫣 Although we managed to stay unscathed. 😁  

[DaveMcK]

[papawofboo]

This packaging is before '62.

[KellytheBelly]

Scary! 😜  Never have I ever seen these in their product form, not once. 

So...What year were these on the shelves?  I think that'd be quite informative. 

A thing of the past, and exactly where it should stay! IMO. Sorry!  ;-D

Thanks for sharing, @DaveMcK! : D

Petty sure you can still buy this. 

[KellytheBelly]

I find this post 'a-peeling.' Ouch! Watch those knuckles! 😄

Be good! x
