A Breath of Fresh Air

Nancy and I took a quick trip west about 30 miles to see the Shenandoah Mountains. Yep, we live by mountains. There is something so amazing about God and his creation. Through his creation we find that the world stops, the cares subside, the pressure dissapates and the worries melt away.
"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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

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?
Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

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?
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD...

Awesome, Dan! I know your wife through Joy in the Morning at Centreville Baptist Church, and I saw your blog address on her facebook page. What a beautiful thing to read God's word while seeing his creation popping with color!!
