A Glass of Worry Please
So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?'
or `What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first
his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given
to
you as well.

Matthew 6:31-33 NIV

According to the National Bureau of Standards, a dense
fog
covering seven city blocks to a depth of 100 feet is composed of
something less than one glass of water. That is, all the fog covering
seven city blocks 100 feet deep could be, if it were gotten all
together, held in a single drinking glass; it would not quite fill
it.
This can be compared to the things we worry about. If
we could
see into the future and if we could see our problems in their true
light, they wouldn't blind us to the world--to living itself--but instead
could be relegated to their true size and place. And if all the things
most people worry about were reduced to their true size, you could
probably stick them all into a water glass, too.

Overheard in an Orchard
Said the Robin to the Sparrow,
"I should really like to know
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and hurry so."
Said the Sparrow to the Robin,
"Friend, I think that it must be
That they have no Heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me."

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
