Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Matthew chapter 6 verses 25 through 29:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look 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? 27And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? 28And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.”
Earlier this summer we got word that Pedro died. Pedro was one of our most consistent Agape Meal friends. He showed up almost every week, sat at the same table, offered the same thanks and praise for wha “the Broadway Baptist Church”, and was always styling in the most wonderful, color-coordinated suites and hats. Every week a new get-up, usually pink or yellow or glossy blue.
“Nice suite, Pedro.”
“Oh, you liiike?” he would say.
He never once led on where he found this stuff, but I tell you not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like Pedro.
I miss him.
