Daily Bread . . .
The Scent of Distraction
“There’s nothing I can do . . . “
Counting out cups of flour.
“How can I fix this mess I’m in . . . “
Measuring the salt,
Adding sugar.
“I’ve got nothing left . . . “
Sprinkling the yeast.
“It’s hopeless . . . “
Pounding the dough.
“I’m tired of feeling so . . . “
Noticing the scent filling the room.
“When will I ever . . . “
Absently placing the luscious loaves
On the counter.
“Hmmm . . .
Maybe a small slice . . .”
A little bit of butter . . .
“Here, have one. I made extra.”
Smiles.
Bread for today
He has plans for tomorrow . . .
“now, where was I?”
Off track
but now thankful!

Martha, I am reading through your old posts- there is so much wisdom there that I just have to go from post to post and sometimes I want to write something to let you know that even if they were written in 2011, those words still inspire. ( comments were disabled)
As someone mentioned, your writings are like those in Our Daily Bread and even more.
I am born a Christian and try to be a Christian in my daily life- my most difficult of problems is thinking ill of people, which I am sure counts as a cardinal sin. I ask for forgiveness, am sure am forgiven but do it all over again when next the chance comes. I have not often prayed about it but you inspire me to pray about it. I hope one day, this vice will leave me.
Thank you, Martha.
