My Struggle
"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 important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look 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? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?? Matthew 6:25-28
Recently, I have allowed the world to overwhelm me. I was caught up with the stresses of life--testing, parenting, etc. I wanted nothing more than to escape the world, yet I did not seek my Jesus. Instead of seeking my Father, I sought the world...Ironic, I know, but the truth is Jesus reminds us that this is the pattern of human nature without Jesus.
Look at verses 25-28. We worry about everything, yet Jesus tells us to worry about nothing. Ponder that--We are to worry only about our relationship with God, and all else flows from that...What does that mean?
Maybe this will be the conversation we have on Thursday.

Was,
That's a great conversation topic--I'd love to get in on that.
Is your meeting open to old geezers, too?
Would love to see you Thursday.
Hopefully yours, PJ
