“Let’s take a moment to observe a flower. Isn’t it beautiful?

Did you know that the life of a flower is very short? It often lasts only a day or a few days. But despite its brief existence, the flower does not look dull or sad. Instead, it shines brightly, full of color and life, every moment it’s alive.

This teaches us an important life lesson: It’s not about how long we live, but how we live in the present. A flower doesn’t worry about tomorrow. It simply embraces the moment, showing its beauty to the world while it can.

In the same way, we are encouraged to live fully in the present moment, giving all of our heart to today. Don’t get lost in worries about the future.

Now, let’s read together the words Jesus shared with us about living fully and trusting in God’s care for our lives.”

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:25-34)

God bless you,
