When thinking of modesty in dress we often only consider the sexual aspects of dress and modesty. We think of covering private parts of our body. We think of dressing modestly so as to not tempt our brothers.
But modesty is far more than our bodies. True modesty involves restraining our pride. We also ought to take care not to flaunt our wealth through our clothing or dress in a way to invite flattery and puff up our pride.
Check out this video clip that explains biblical modesty well:
Two quotes from the video that really resonated with me were - "Modesty is humility expressed in dress...Immodesty is pride on display by what you wear."

About Me
- MooMama
- A 40 something mama meandering through life with an eclectic 20 year old boy-man (the boy), a 7 year old girl (big girl) who is a ball of lightening, and a 3 year old girl (baby girl) who brightens our lives with her smiles. I'm grounded by my 40 something husband and partner (the hubster) whose quirky mannerisms brighten my days.
I've been a single mama, married mama, divorced mama, career mama, SAHM, and WAHM. There was a short time of my life when I wasn't a mama, but that was a LONG time ago!
I hold an AA, BS, and MA and most say I'm wasting them by devoting my intellectual capabilities and energy in the nurture of the wee ones that I've been entrusted to raise, but there is nothing else I'd rather be doing these days. :)
I love hearing from readers, so please share your thoughts and leave comments, too!

Moo said the mama reserves the right to remove any comment that we deem snarky, malicious, spammy or otherwise inappropriate. We have thick skin here in Mootown but want this blog to be a pleasant destination for all ages.
I also wanted to let you know that I read each and every comment that comes in! I want to reply to them all, too - but alas, life interferes. Please don't be offended if I didn't have the time to personally reply to a comment you left.
