They Tell You It Will Change Your Life Forever, And You're Like, "I Know"...You Don't Know: Lesson's learned

Something I need to remember

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 important than food, and the body more important 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.Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ? 28."And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies 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, O 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.

Lesson's learned

So we had a break down last night…
Jonas’ “rubberband” boots (rain boots) had a hole in them because he walks on them funny and basically they had gotten a crack all the way down the back of the boots. When we got home from church Jonathan had a discussion with him about taking care of his things and that when we don’t take care of them, things can get broken, and now the boots are broken and they will need to be thrown away…well you would have thought the child was just told he would never get to see his family again. He was devastated that he was going to have to throw away these boots!
Jonathan and I have been giving him a commission for the last month or so. He makes .25 for making his bed .25 for picking up his toys before he goes to bed…etc each week when he gets paid he puts some in his pocket to take to church and the rest goes in his piggy bank.
Well this kid has got some serious cash now and we thought this was a good learning opportunity to spend his money. So Jonathan took Jonas to Target today to pick out new rain boots.
Here is the fruit of their labor today!
