[Sue (Ayt)]

Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious 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 the food, and the body than the raiment?

Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they?

And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?

And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.


Matthew 25-29

I couldn't find a place to put this so if it doesn't belong here or there is a better place for it, please move/delete. For me, its more about the image than the words. A good depiction of how grief feels:

'This is what Grief feels like..
Don’t judge it
Don’t rush it
Don’t dismiss it
Don’t suppress it
There is no Rulebook for Grief.
It comes in waves. And I pray for the ones
who feel as though they’re drowning.

This is in Switzerland~ I think it describes grief perfectly. ❤️
