Practical side of this verse experienced years ago...I had given a dress of my 5 yr old daughter to home missions. It traveled in a truck many states away. The fabric was a unique print of red roosters. I had mended the waist with a blue thread, as it was all I had. Five years later I had another daughter ready to enter kindergarten. A friend brought me some dresses that had been brought from the Western USA. In the lot was a familiar red rooster dress with the waist mended in blue thread. It was the same dress we had sent to missions several states away 5 years earlier and still in very good condition.
