“<\/strong><\/em>Why do you worry …think about how the flowers of the field grow; they don’t work or spin… yet Solomon in all his glory wasn’t clothed like one of these… <\/strong><\/em>Matthew 6:28-29<\/p>\n

My flowers! I love each variety that blooms at different times of the year. Like a show of color and design, they thrill me with every blossom.<\/p>\n

…if this is how God clothes wild GRASS, which is here today and gone tomorrow, won\u2019t He clothe you even more…?”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Matthew 6:30<\/p>\n

Grass! – I can see it from every window, my house is surrounded.\u00a0It takes me several hours each month to cut, edge and weed during growing season. I take great care of it all.<\/p>\n

“Look at the birds in the sky: They don’t sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren\u2019t you far more valuable than they are”\u00a0Matthew 6:26<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Birds! In the trees surrounding us, even when the doors are closed I can hear them singing. Jesus said I’m far more valuable.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

If God cares for grass and flowers and birds and provides for their needs, won’t He provide for me too? “Oh you of little faith.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I needed reminding today! Just walking outside to take a look and listen. It sounded as if all was saying, “Why do you worry? Why do you fear anything?\u00a0Silly girl, have peace.”<\/em><\/p>\n

GOD LOVES YOU<\/p>\n
