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.
Matthew 6:33-34
Matthew 6:33-34
Why do we let ourselves get so stressed out in life that we don't enjoy the simple things? Joshua, my two year old, is such a great example of enjoying life. I love to see how excited he gets over...CAKE! Now, I must pause right here and say that yes, he does come by this honestly. Whenever I tell him it's someone's birthday...the first thing he ask is "Mommy, will they have cake?" He gets the biggest smile on his face and jumps up and down when we have a cake in the house. Joshua doesn't worry about the calories or how it's not the most nutritious item on the food pyramid. All he knows is that it's something special and it taste "so yummy." There are so many little things that make him excited...having a friend come over, playing trains with his daddy, building tents, or putting a water hose on his slide. So often, I get bogged down with the worries and stresses of life that I don't enjoy the wonderful blessings the Lord has given me. Maybe Marie Antoinette had it right when she said..."Let them eat cake." This week, Joshua and I are going to have us a piece of cake and enjoy every minute of it! What will you do?
