Do not worry about tomorrow
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 than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 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? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:25-34
This week's Gospel was beautiful and struck me so close.
At a time when i'm thinking of and worrying about a million and one things (our Wedding, a place to stay, money, the kids, daddy's deteriorating sight, more money issues, the sister's move, work, losing friends)...
When we've been having disagreements almost daily...
When each day at the office and back home just seems to bring on a new set of issues that keep me up all night...
I should have more trust in Our Father!
That in His own time and on His own plan, He will guide me.
To make the right choices, do the right things.
He will provide.
Men of little faith... that's the kind of person i've been. Especially so, the past few weeks.
Feel such a shame to say that.
That i had doubted His love for us and felt forsaken.
If there is ever only one who will unselfishly love and look out for us, it is He.
Thank you Fr. for delivering such a beautiful message to us.
To a beautiful week ahead, Amen.
