Like a Fresh-baked Loaf of Bread

 

I took the above video yesterday morning!

(I saw a flash of orange from the Baltimore Oriole-chorister)

He sang and sang and sang!!

It cheered my heart so, where tears could wash away all joy!

SO much sorrow in this sinful, broken world.

But, The Living Bread sustains when nothing else can...

(full chapter below)

Today begs to be tasted like a fresh-baked loaf of bread

Still warm from welkin ovens wafting somewhere overhead 

To savor wholesome/holy flavors of fresh favors, mercy-wrought

To break it gently, bite by bite, not scarfed down without thought 

To recognize with meek surprise, our place, then to give thanks

Where we, the subjects of God's grace ought never to pull ranks

But take and eat with humble recognition of Enough

And not to grumble at the greatest mission of all; love

The loaf that sits before us at daybreak soon disappears

The platter is so full of hands seizing laughter and tears

Where always without fail, morning's freshly-baked loaf becomes

An empty plate where pray, we stay to linger over crumbs

...oho, we rise each morning to Mercy's refurbished tray

Today begs to be tasted like a fresh-baked Bread-buffet...

Smile of satisfaction! 

(what a challenge for us older 'children' to respond like this!)

Full chapter Psalm 66

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer

nor his mercy from me

Psalm 66:20

He hears our prayers!

What a wonder.
