Thankful Hearts

A friend from church called us tonight and asked if we could use some food. Their son is getting married on Saturday and a friend who is a grocer brought them about 30 boxes full of produce! They weren't going to be able to use it all so over I went to their garage and picked out the above bounty. I was planning on going shopping this afternoon but I tend to run out of energy by lunch time these days and so the girls and I din't go. And then Sheri called! So this post is to say specifically..."Wow! Look what God provided for us...just when we needed it....again!"

A different friend e-mailed today and said she had a bunch of clothes that will fit Abbie that she'd like to pass on to us.

Need I write more?

Matthew 6: 25-31: "So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life-wether you have enough food, drink, and clothes. Doesn't life consist of more than food and clothing? Look at the birds. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not. And why worry about your clothes? Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you? You have so little faith! So don't worry about having enough food or drink or clothing. Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern."

Our prayer is that we Dykstras will live our lives for God and make his Kingdom our primary concern!
