"Not even Solomon...
if God so clothes the flowers...
How much more..."
There are times when the words of Jesus have the complex simplicity of a children's talk.
Three flowers contradicting anxiety and all our hoarding of resources "just in case..."
Three flowers celebrating unselfconscious beauty at our back door.
Of course the whole argument presupposes "your Heavenly Father."
Your Heavenly Father clothes, knows, sees, gives.
The Lord's Prayer is our daily renewal of that life transforming presupposition.
"Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven",
in my mind and heart, in my neighbourhood,
in my thinking and my motives, in my decisions and actions,
in my words, and in all of these gathered into this prayer,
"Your Kingdom Come."
