I love that too. I think I’ll make a loaf today!

Theresa – yes! You’re exactly right! People want to be seen and known – grateful for the reminder to slow down and SEE.

It’s something so ancient and timeless, tying the past and the present together through bread. I don’t make it, but I do enjoy eating it. 🙂 I love that Jesus used bread as one of the metaphors for who he is.

Show them you see them. Then they are much more receptive to hearing about and seeing us.

YES – Jesus with skin on. The closer I draw to him, the more I learn what this looks like. His love drew in the marginalized, oppressed, and sinner. And love often looks like a loaf of bread – it opens so many doors. Grateful you stopped by!

I went to Zimbabwe on a missions trip in college for most of the summer. And one thing we learned in training classes was how the people won’t listen to a message about Jesus until we show them Jesus. Ever since, I try to remember to strive to be Jesus with skin to others. He is the only thing that satisfies the hunger we each have in our souls…the bread of heaven.
