Sew... buttons?

A button is a curious thing. Buttons become loose, and buttons become worn. Buttons can be re-sewn and buttons can be tightened.
Each of our Workcampers wears a button to symbolize the week of service they devoted to Jesus. Buttons can be easily lost or replaced, just as we can easily forget and move beyond this week of devotion. But it is our duty to keep this button close, to repair it, along with our faith, when it becomes loose or worn. If we lose the button, it is important to remember where it came from, even if we can’t actually see it. We wear the button to remind us to continue to serve Jesus in our daily lives, remembering to tighten it, polish it, and resew it when needed, just as our relationship with Him often needs to be resewn.
