Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God

   Food Pantry and Produce Give-away

Thanks to all who helped with these ministries. We gave out close to 40 bags of groceries along with delicious bread and pastries given to us by our friends at Springhill UMC. We also gave out 48 boxes of produce. But it is so much more than just handing someone a bag or a box of food. It is praying for someone who has cancer and  about to have surgery next week. It is hearing a little boy yell to his mother, “Momma look we got a watermelon.” Thank you for supporting these ministries. 

Thoughts for the Day,  August 6, 2020 

After church on Sunday Richard and Bobbie invited me to their house to see firsthand their beautiful wild lilies in their back field.  I was utterly amazed at their magnificence. There were so many that I had to ride in my car in order to take in their vastness. At the conclusion I told them both that I felt as if I had been to Bellingrath Gardens. God’s artwork always amazes me, but  His words, even more. So why is it we worry so?  For His words tell us “Are we not more valuable then [the birds of the air or the lilies of the field]?” (Matthew 6:26)

The key to putting an end to our useless worry lies in the concluding words of this passage—“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.”

 

Today, let learn from the lilies in the field—let’s not “labor and spin” but rather live beautifully pointing our efforts toward the heavens! Have a blessed day!
