Jesus Says

"...If God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you." John 12:28 NLT
Let us get up early and go to the vineyards to see if the grapevines have budded, if the blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love. Songs of Songs 6:12 NLT

Being Fed

Day by day we are given not what we want but what we need.  
Sometimes it is a feast and sometimes it is swept crumbs, but by
faith we believe it is enough to sustain us, if only because it comes 
to us from the hand of God.
                                                       From The Preaching Life

From Psalm 56

From The Message by Eugene Peterson

God, you did everything you promised,
and I'm thanking you with all my heart.
You pulled me from the brink of death,
my feet from the cliff-edge of doom.
Now I stroll at leisure with God
in the sunlit fields of life.

My Quiet Place by Helen Steiner Rice

My garden beautifies my yard
and adds fragrance to the air---
but it is also my cathedral
and my quiet place of prayer.
