Food Bowl

My little dog just emptied her food bowl and turned to look at me.  She would look at me and then her bowl and then at me again.  The message was clear.  "Put some more in it."

This set me to thinking.  I've just been reading a book (I'll comment on it after I finish it) in which the author is telling his readers to quit being "normal," to dare to be different and to just trust God.  "Normal" people worry about money, specifically whether or not there will be "enough."  The author points out that there will always be enough for you to do whatever it is that God wants you to do.


“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought 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 meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:25 -33
