Day of Thanksgiving
Matthew 6:25-33

Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into
barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not of more value
than they?  And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span
of life?  And why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the
field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.  But if God so
clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you — you of little
faith?  Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will
we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'  For it is the Gentiles who strive for
all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things.  But strive first for the kingdom of God and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
