Isaiah 61:3 "To grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified."

"Knowing God's Will" Core 52 Week 43
Matthew 6: 25-34 Do Not Worry “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? 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? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 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? 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. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Our understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.

an uneXpected amd eXceptional gift: "Dreamland eXpress" by John Denver listen here. Here's what happened: I felt nudged to play a CD that had been to my Dad's. When I heard this song, I felt God's presence with me, and my Dad's and realized that (along with others that have been transforming my heart) could easily be heard as God asking us to love and be loved by Him, and to realize we can always be in His presence, if we choose to be. Thank you Dad and God, for the "nudge" xoxo
