Some people turn up their nose, but I have to say I love left-overs! A satisfying meal for the whole family in a matter of minutes. No getting tired of one flavor here! Who can count the containers?
"Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.'" John 6:35
A chunk of chewy bread with a steaming bowl of soup. Bread that reminds you of something eaten around your grandmother's table. Thick slabs of fresh, home-made bread spread with melting butter. These "favorite things" may sound like the key to happiness and calm on a stressful or frustrating day. Yet no matter how calming the affect of a memory from the past, no matter how delighted the tastebuds, the problems and pains of life remain after the slice, or loaf, has been devoured. No sense-based experience will drive them away. You will feel hungry in a little while. Your stress level will rise once again. The racing thoughts will return.
I encourage you to enjoy the good things God has given us - including bread. But I also encourage you to find your complete happiness, rejuvination, and life in the "Bread of Life."
I am a child of God, homemaking daughter, serial entrepreneur, chronic illness fighter, professional and just-for-fun knitter, watercolorist, and admirer of all things true, beautiful, delicious, watercolor, and woolen. Come and see God's faithfulness that reaches to the skies!
