There is an ad for a dress on sale for $600 on my screen.
While I can't say Ive ever spent that much on a dress, sometimes I question whether I'm materialistic. My closet is full of secondhand clothing but am I putting my treasures on earth rather than heaven?
While I figure this out, Ive made it a goal not to buy any more clothes for myself unless I need them or until next year.
I don't think shopping for fun is wrong. But when I think about my closet, I wonder if its a bit excessive, especially when Jesus said its better to give than to recieve.
I wonder if anyone else struggles with materialism or how to define it. How do you develop habits that lead to more giving? Anyone embracing minimalism?
