41. Clothes – seems simple, something children would always name in a list of what they are thankful for. But really I am thankful for them. Even when I have mounds and mounds of laundry to do, I’m still thankful. Even though we’re not extravagant in the clothing area and I try to give away lots, we still have beyond what is a necessity. Thank you God, for blessing us with clothes to wear.

Matthew 6: 28-29; 33-34 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies 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….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."
Yes, I agree with you isn't it amazing how much we do have? I tell my daughter stories of my growing up years and try to compare giving her a picture of how more I have now than back then....and love the verse you chose for this.

I'm even more thankful for Annie and Ella's hand me downs now that Owen doesn't get any. I'm so thankful to have only one child to buy for and we get 95% of his clothes at the thrift store.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you! I think we only had to buy 1 season of clothes for 1 child. That was M's first fall. ALl the other seasons were given to us as hand-me-downs from family and generous friends. I am so thankful for clothes and their warmth or breathability depending on the season.
ReplyDeleteAnnette!! How weird that you posted that scripture today: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow..." It's been in my head for several days, and I even put it on my FB profile tonight. I'm enjoying reading your list of blessings.
ReplyDeleteI love this scripture. How true, I am grateful for clothes too.
