Some clothing idioms:
people are advised not to wash their dirty linen in public,
even adults like to have their security blankets,
and emperors often don't have clothes.
The word silken can be used to describe food and voice and touch.
Woolgathering (daydreaming) and cottonpickin' (fit for nothing better than picking cotton; unworthy) -- the list of idiomatic use of fabric words is a long one. (from Wordsmith.org)
Scripture speaks of the hope of our resurrection body "eternal in the heavens". For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven; if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked...but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life" (II Corinthians 5:2-8).
Let's do a bit of woolgathering today on this wonderful promise.
