Worship Wednesday

My cleaning challenge said to put fresh flowers in my house today.

Not a problem. 

It also said to mop my kitchen, but I haven't gotten around to that yet. 

I think the point of the fresh flowers was to reward yourself with a bright new, clean kitchen. 

So I did it in reverse. No big deal.

I also don't think you're supposed to put daisies in a rose bowl. Some wise lady once told me that I can do whatever I want to do in terms of decorating and housewares. (I left out the expletive in that wise lady's quote since this is my worship Wednesday post. That is, if you consider the word "hell" an expletive. And now the "expletive" is in my post...). I feel so liberated that I even have served sangria in sorbet glasses and peach cobbler in champagne goblets. I am a rebellious, yet free woman. 

Moving on...

Can you believe I got one bunch of flowers for $5, and four rooms in my house have fresh flowers in them? I'd say that's a great use of $5!

They're happy little flowers aren't they? They brighten my day.

These words brighten my day too. 

 “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? 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life^[e]?

 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  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? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 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 6:25-34
