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.

I heard Dave Ramsey the other day on the radio and he asked the Question, "Who do you work for?" he was alluding to the fact that most people work for Ford Motor Credit, or Visa, or Mastercard, or for their bank to pay the mortgage etc. I was thinking, that we aren't in any debt besides our house and even that payment isn't that bad because we've been very blessed. so i thought since I don't have a job. Who Does Jonathan work for? Then i realized, Jonathan works for me and Jonas. He wakes up, goes to school, and teaches willing and unwilling learners (mostly unwilling this time of year) for me. he wouldn't have to work so hard if i had a job now. I could get a job now, but more than anything right now, i want a degree so i can get my dream job. Jonathan has talked about wanting to go to get his doctorate. He's talked about going to get more certifications...we can't afford that right now because I'm going to school. So i decided, Jonathan works for me. Jonathan likes what he does, but almost no one loves going to work every day. but still Jonathan does. Thank you Jonathan for working for Jonas and me. I love you so much.
