God Clothes Us...........

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?
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

Yesterday we had a little ding-dong-ditch at our home.  My children (and I) were incredibly blessed by a good samaritan.  I know who it was...but I also know they want to remain nameless..this is what I love about them.  They give without ever wanting glory.  The give because they are obedient to the Lord.  You see, the other day Troy was mentioning to a friend how the kids have outgrown their clothes. He mentioned that I was headed to the local thrift store to try to find something for them.  (BTW I found a few things but was not very successful.  Although I did happen upon shoes for both Ellie and Jackson and that was much needed). This family heard the need and provided in a huge way.  

My girls were so excited!  The even did a fashion show.  I would love to post pics and may do that later today.  So thank you to the family that did that for us.  You are a blessing to us but more importantly I know you will be blessed because of your obedience.
