Modesty - More Than Just a Standard
Friday November 17, 2006
This article teaches how being modest shows gratitude and respect for our bodies. It also comes with a lesson activity and three New Era Posters that cleverly illustrate the importance of modesty.
Here's an excerpt from the article, "How we dress does affect how we act. We wouldn't want to wear formal attire when playing sports and who'd feel comfortable going to a formal dance in a swimming suit? Every day we should dress modestly by following these guidelines in the "For the Strength of Youth" pamphlet."

When I received my endowments, I was so dedicated to dressing modestly that I gave away any/all clothing that didn’t totally & comfortably cover my garments. (I didn’t want to be tempted to go without, or to ‘alter’, my garments.) I found that giving away, even my old faverites, was easy- once I had made up my mind to keep my convenents. I can remember reading somewhere, not long after that, that the time to teach our children how to dress modestly- to prepare for the temple- started at birth. When they’re used to dressing modestly, it’s not a ’sacrifice’ to change their wardrobe later. They won’t even give it a second thought…

Thanks for your comment, it’s a great observation which I know was done with me and so it wasn’t a sacrifice because there was nothing to change.
