considering

On our walk around (part of ) the lake on Tuesday, we came across several little wildflowers. Little colorful surprises here and there, scattered and sprinkled along the path, the roadside, the creek bed. Lovely bits of God's creativity - worth noticing.

In fact, we are told, by Jesus, to notice such things.

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.
Matthew 6:29-34

For me, walking down a forest trail and spotting these little beauties helps wash all the cares of the world away. A reminder not to worry or stress, but to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
