In the middle of my front yard stands a tree. In the spring and summer it is full of green fluffy leaves. In the fall it was a bright red color, and now as winter is coming it is full of little red berries. In the mornings I have been watching what is going on in this tree. For weeks now this tree has been full of little birds eating the berries. I have watched them fly around in pure delight getting their bellies full with these rubies from heaven.
It is amazing to me how God cares for all of HIS creation. I love what God tells us in His word about this…
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:25-27
In this Thanksgiving month and every month I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father who provides everything we need for this life. I cant help but thank him for the way He looks out for all of His children and creation. Caring for our every need. Great and small. Maybe not in the way we always think it should look, but in His perfect way!
I pray for each of you as you gather to celebrate the blessings in your life around a turkey this year that you would remember that “ Every good and perfect gift is from above.” James 1:17
Happy Thanksgiving!
