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...

lingering over breakfast crumbs💓
 




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.
