Important

Sometimes I get a little lost in the unimportant.  I end up worrying about the everyday and turning moll hills into mountains.  I've said it before and I'll say it again but worry runs in the family.  I worry about what you eat, did you get enough, when should you start solids, I worry about when you sleep, too much... too little, I worry about your poopy diapers when you have not had one or when the color is funny.  But the truth is I really should not waste my time worrying about these things, why, while first God has it under-control, so I should trust his love and pray instead of worry and second none of these thing matter in the long run.  
"So do not worry about tomorrow; 
for tomorrow will care for itself. 
Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 6:34
When you get a little bigger no one including you will care weather you are breastfed or bottlefed as an infant, noone will care when you started solids or where you took your nap or what color you poo was. What will  really matters is that you were always taken care of and always loved.  You see really what matters can be boiled down to 2 things God and Family. 
"Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall."
Psalm 55:22 
The bible says it plain and clear God has worry, cares, sorrows and troubles under control.  As long as God is with you these things are taken care of.  That dose not mean that life will be perfect but it will always be according to God's will and plan. Instead of worrying about what the trivial, I want you to learn that God takes care of your worries if you love him and pray. God will take your burdens, you can not carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and neither can I but God can dose.  Let him take your troubles.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 
and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, 
for I am gentle and humble in heart, 
and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
God dose not want us to have hearts fill with worry he wants us to pray hand our worries to him and be joyful.
"Be joyful always;
pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17


I hope that I am teaching you to Love God.  Devotions in the morning, Papa's Prayer before bed, I hope your early memories are that you have a family who loves you and a God who loves you.   I hope I can break this family tradition of worry.  I know in my heart God is in control, sometimes I just can not help but worry but for your sake I will try to do better.  I will try to trust more in Gods love and worry less about the little things.  Try to focus on making sure you know you have a God who loves you, and a family who loves you.  That is Important.  That is what matters.
