I ONLY HAD ONE DRESS👗

 It’s not that I’m fashion crazy, oh no! It’s simply because I never had much of anything to begin with. 

Like I’ve mentioned to you before, I grew up stricken by poverty…I didn’t have any shoes👠 for many years, and to add to that dilemma, I only had one little white dress.👗🎐

My mother would wash my one little dress every Saturday for Sunday school. I wore it with such pride and self-confidence. It had frills and buttons in the back. I had no ribbons to match, no clips, only a few bubbles with the elastic all stretched out. But oh boy, I loved my one little white dress.

One Sunday morning I went to Sunday school and little Ms rich Josey with her comrades of gossip girls, laughed, giggled and whispered about my ‘one’ worn out dress👗. She said, “Every Sunday I wore the same dress to church!!” I was very appalled though only seven years old. Hearing her discriminate against me hurt💘 my little heart. The tears😭 welled up in my heart and came running down my face the moment I got home and reiterate my story to my mama. Mama encouraged my heart💞 like she knew something I didn’t. She said, “Sophia, one day massa God is going to bless you, you won’t have back to wear all your clothes.” (This means that God will bless me so much👗👗👗👗, I won’t be able to wear it all.) To me, it sounded like a hopeful verse right from the book of Psalms. However, I pounded hers words in my heart. 

Sadly, it never occurred to me that I only had ‘one dress’👗for church until Josey pointed it out to me. I became so conscious after that to the point where I went to God and asked for another dress. He promise to be a father to me and I needed it! This might seems fortuitous to you but it was God who orchestrated the whole thing⚖️. One of my Sunday School teachers, Sis Regent, had returned from visiting the UK. Shortly after my ‘one dress’ encounter drama she had asked me to come see her. I went to see her thinking she had something for just my mama, but come to find out she had brought me this beautiful little red plaid dress. I did not sleep that night 🤷🏽‍♀️and man did I weep like Jesus! I was so happy for the change. I felt rich.👘 A present from God.🛍🎀🎁 Sis Regent told me that the Lord had impressed on her heart to buy me the dress👘 while there in England. She brought just the right size. The following Sunday I walked in my Sunday school class with a brand new dress👘. It was the first for me since my little white dress was a hand-me-down from my sister Shelly lol. 

The saying is true. Little is much when God is in it! I was so happy to just go to Sunday school that I didn’t realize I only had one dress. It really wasn’t a big deal. I was so poor, that having just one good dress was such a big blessing to me. Be grateful for the little things this season and have grateful heart. Don’t  forget where God has brought you from.
