Thankful- Nov 1st

Today I am thankful for another person's junk.  

 You know the old saying about one persons junk being another persons treasure? I love that phrase so much that I should paint it on my walls. Okay, maybe not paint it on my walls but you get the idea.

 I love it when someone asks us if we could use (fill in the blank). I could walk around my house and say so-and-so gave us this and so-and-so gave us that. So much in fact that I decided not to take pictures of it all because that would be a ton of work. 

The Lord has blessed us so much over the years. He has used so many different people to supply needs and wants in our lives. Clothes, furniture, groceries, tickets to really cool places, appliances, decor, baby stuff, school stuff. I could go ON and ON. God's been good!

I am thankful for the stuff we have been given, but I am even more thankful for the people doing the giving. To me their hearts are pure gold!

 I leave you with pictures of the kiddos. Why? Because they are cuties! Oh and look. They are sitting in stuff given, wearing clothes that were given, playing with toys that were given. See what I mean?!

Matthew 6:25-34
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
