And all these things shall be added unto you…

It’s one of my life verses- actually that’s the end of the verse. “For your Heavenly Father knows that you need these things… But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” come before that part of the verse. I don’t need much. I live pretty simply. My closet of clothes is pretty small. In fact I own more violins than I do blue jeans. Goodwill and savers are more preferred shopping than a Target or Kohl’s. Those seem to be the “things “ that our culture stops at. The things we need or think we need.

This week I needed different things and I had them added to me. A long visit with a friend, a beautiful day to plant bulbs, rain falling, a card in the mail, three Bible studies in a 10 hour time period, two meals made for grandpa J, and that doesn’t even count the hours on the lake with a crossword puzzle book, watching Jim cut down trees and grilling by the dock. Those are the needs that meet my heart. I need people, quiet, Gods word, friends and maybe even a chipotle that was open, a rice bowl and a coke Diet Coke. Not big things but things that move my heart to see God in the everyday moments as I seek his kingdom and attempt to live a life of righteousness. For me that’s better than stuff!
