Wildflowers

In this week's staff devotion, Cheryl shared an article about hours in the day and never having enough time to get everything done that we want to get done. Then she shared this passage from Matthew 6:30-33 from the Message

"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works.
Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

After hearing that passage, I went looking for some pictures that help remind how God takes care of us and no matter how hard I work, I can never create anything that compares to these. But that doesn't mean that I don't try, instead I strive to enjoy the creative process learning from my mistakes and shortcomings. I take solice in knowing that the Creator loves all of Creation even me.
grace&peace
