Purple

My favorite color is purple! It has been my favorite color since before I can remember.

I can't tell you EXACTLY why it's my favorite color, it just is! I love other colors too; like

blue and green,

brown and magenta,

yellow and turquoise.

But I always come back to purple.

I suppose that I prefer purple... because it symbolizes certain things for me.

First off, it's the color of the Purple Mountain Majesties. And I don't know what I would do without my mountains. Their strength, quiet and persistent, gives me a quiet peace on days when I feel anxious. After all, if the mountains have been there hundreds of years, and my God has been around even longer-- and neither of them has been shaken, then I can trust and rely on certain things.

Purple is also the color of royalty. To me it reminds me that yes I am a princess of the King, and I deserve the best! :) Corny, perhaps; but true. The robe that they wrapped around my Saviour when they were crucifying Him... was purple. The royal power in death?

Lastly, I suppose at this point in my life I feel that if I changed my favorite color I would lose a part of me. A part that I am extremely fond of-- I love the fact that my favorite color is purple. It's something of me... that hasn't changed, even as I have grown up and changed.... yep, my favorite color is purple!

What's yours?
