Gratitude | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

There is a proverb that says, who does not thank for little will not thank for much.
The dried leaves symbolize that ‘the days will pass, the leaves will dry and I have still not given you enough to say thank you’. That’s basically the whole idea behind it! In this image, I am expressing my own gratitude.. I mean, feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. Is it not?
One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind…

Worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but you won't get anywhere.

          The message today was on worrying, and how when we worry, we really are not operating from a place of faith. Keeping our eye on the so called problem allows us to forget what God has taken us from and how we are not alone. In Matthew 8:23 Jesus ask the disciples why they were afraid and said they had little faith. How many times have we allowed our troubles and fears to over-shadow us that we can't even see Jesus.

Challenge for the week; take a moment to realize that God is walking along side of us and turn our fear into a prayer opportunity.

but give me only my daily bread.

and say, ‘Who is the LORD ?’
Or I may become poor and steal, 

and so dishonor the name of my God.only my daily bread.
