THE HUMBLE SOCK

  The sock,-- humble, taken for granted, mismatched, missing, holed, cotton, wool, bamboo, silk -- is an amazing wardrobe article. 

 It takes us hiking --


 It tickles our funny bone.








It bundles a baby in love.







It hangs by the fire filled with expectation.





It lets us show our team colours, or declare our nationality.







It can even become our friend.







But the most amazing thing a sock can do is hold compassion and comfort for someone living on the street.  Someone with cold toes and blistered heels.  Someone who is loved by God.

October is "Warm Toes" month at SPPC.  Fill a sock with toiletries, a treat, a message of hope, a book . . .
and put it in the basket in the narthex.  At the end of the month they will be delivered to Our Place, a token of Christian love.
