When you are imagining

Thanks for stopping by, friends.
While you’re here, soak in the beauties of our
God as seen in His creation. Only He could have
imagined all the colors and shapes
and patterns we enjoy.
How can we not trust Him to do well by us?
Amazing, isn’t He?

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?

~from Matthew 6~

This week I’m linking up with Word-filled Wednesday, Still Saturday, Scripture and a Snapshot, The Sunday Community, Katie’s Corner, Little Things Thursday, This or That Thursday, Brag on God Friday, and Fresh Brewed Sundays.

Photo Backstory: I spotted this field of wildflowers and cattails while dropping my nephew at baseball practice. I just had to wade in and snap some iPhone pics. Can you blame me?
