Bread

For your consideration….

Today’s message compares us to bread. It uses bread as a symbol.

Think about how many different kinds of bread there are. No two loaves are every the same.

Think about what the yeast does. It expands and grows the bread. That is a goal of our lives. We strive to grow and be more…have more to offer the world.

Bread is one of the cheapest foods there are making it easy to share. The more we have, the more we are, the more we are asked to share. We are asked to rise up and reach out to others without fear. In Matthew 14:13-21, Jesus fed 5000 people on only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. We are reminded to reach out to others without fear. We are enough.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take….

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Grow and share.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-Lunch with my neighbor, Joan.

-We went to the theater and saw “Singing in the Rain.” It was just great.

-Errands ran.

-Catching up with both my girls and Cathy.
