There have been several recent news items on on "cheap" supermarket clothes that exploit the workers who make them. The Radio 4 Thought for the Day today was from Rhidian Brook (who is always worth listening to) on "the consequences of the dis-connect between the things we consume and the people that make them". That was a sobering thought this week as some us us contemplate the Craghoppers and Rohan sales and the possibility of acquiring new walking clothes....
Earlier this year I was struck when I heard Colossians 3:9-14 (from The Message) reminding hearers that Christians have a new wardrobe! The passage goes on to say that love is the "basic, all-purpose garment" that is indispensible at all times (rather than the latest gadgety rain jacket). If that's the case, then maybe we need to check that "every item" in our lives (and wardrobes?) is indeed "custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it".
