I’ve been subscribed to the Pictures for Sad Children blog for a while.
I like it’s slightly dark and off-beat humour.

This particular strip reminds me how easy it is to get into cycles of worry.
Sometimes worrying can become even more comfortable than taking the risk of dealing with our junk and learning to rest.

I’m trying to take that less travelled path – the one that takes Jesus seriously when he says things like:

Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.
