Dear God,

My early morning devotion time grows more precious to me every day.  This morning I read about bread.  I thought of all those people who have offered me bread in my life.  Theirs was the bread of heaven.  My grandmother gave me the bread of faith.  My husband gave me the bread of possibility.  My Sunday School teacher gave me the bread of hope.  My friend gave me the bread of friendship.  My neighbor gave me the bread of healing.  What gifts, unconditional loving gifts of mercy and love.

Daily you challenge us to consider the matter of faith.  You push us to remember and give thanks.  Today's gift of  bread was a sweet one as I recall those special people, emissaries of the kingdom, who gave me bread that fills, satisfies, and makes happy.  Bread, aahh, the gift of life.

Holy God,
thank you
for the gift
of bread.
Thank you
for those
who share,
bread bearers,
bread givers,
and bread healers.
Bless you,
O God,
for yet
another gift
of faith.

Love, Andrea
