{ Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life }

 ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^[a]?

²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 

*Matthew 6:25-34*

 

Welcome friends to my little home!

 

Come on in, sit with me a little.  It is a gorgeous morning, albeit a little cold and we will be hitting 70 degrees later so there's that to smile about.

 

I have just put a load of laundry to wash, emptied and refilled the dishwasher and got the house sorted and tidied.  I also just started reading my bible again from the beginning and went ahead and got that done, well, not the whole thing obviously but the first chapter.  There is something very comforting about starting it all over again and I know I'm going to learn more and find more and be amazed yet again.

 

As I was watching the outside cats and the birds in our yard yesterday, I was once again reminded that they do not fear, they do not worry about anything, and Matthew 6 came to mind.  Oh how I want to live just like that, fearless, not ever thinking about where this or that will come from, but knowing that God will provide as He always does.

 

We worry too much about things that we don't have control over.  It's time to stop!

 

Today I am actually trying to figure out what my giveaway for my blogiversary tomorrow, will be.  I wasn't quite sure what to do, but I've decided that the best thing is to just do a sort of basket with all the things that I love, or things that represent my blog and me.  So far, I am thinking a candle, a book, a favorite chocolate, something crocheted, you get the idea right?

 

I don't know exactly everything already but once I do, I will be sure to share it.  If it's something you are interested in entering be sure to come back tomorrow for the official blogiversary post and giveaway.

 

I'm keeping this one short, just wanted to come in and share that wonderful uplifting verse with you.  I do hope you are all having a wonderful day, can you believe we are already practically at the end of another week?  Goodness!
