Monday’s Musings: Goodbye Favorite Socks!



Ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways

I have a pair of favorite socks. I guess I could say I had them.  They were gray ragg socks with a small amount of crochet trim around the edge of the cuff.  I put them on a few days ago only to discover nickel sized holes in the heels. I think the last time I wore them Joe and hiked about 8 or 9 miles in North Carolina.  I remember the last 5 miles I walked with huge blisters on my heels.  I had on good hiking boots.  Instead I discovered these socks were slipping around and rubbing my feet.  I take away two lessons here.  Things that are appropriate in some instances of life might not be appropriate in another.  We have to match our actions to the situation. Second,  sometimes we have to say goodbye to things we care about.  I can be appreciative of having those socks. It’s time to move on.  I now hike in socks made for running and hiking. But if you ever see some ladies ragg socks with narrow crochet trim, let me know.

Loving, God help us to know when to hold on and when to let go.  Thank you for all of our blessings.  We ask that you bless this week and all we do. Amen.

God Bless,
Paige
