Why Wear Your Pearls Day?
The Wear Your Pearls Day does not emphasize all on the pearls literally! Rather it points to the process of how pearls are made and the value they find when they are found in the deep waters of the sea.
The pearls are created from coating the irritating dirt and foreign particles found in the oysters with layers of nacre over time. Just like how the oysters keep coating the dirt that comes their way and converts it to something beautiful and valuable, DeAnne Bookert encourages everyone to do the same today and hereafter!
More often than not we find ourselves unmotivated and depressed when things don’t go our way. This is when we remember the oysters and the pearls! Disappointments and struggles are inevitable in this life. But what we can do is learn from nature how God provides solutions through the beautiful problem-solving design of the oysters!
You are reminded again that you can face all the hardships by working on them one layer at a time! You will see yourself to be growing in life every day! The worst situations tend to bring out the best qualities God has blessed us with! This National Wear Your Pearls Day, whether you wear the pearls or not, remember the absolute truth that you are valuable and were created for a purpose!
