Every weekend our children's home goes to a local grocery store and picks up their day old bakery items. We take all that we can use. Then, we give away what we can according to our agreement with the grocery store. Next, we store the bread in a closet. Every Thursday or Friday we throw away what is left. Sometimes it is only a little, often it is a lot. It is great that the grocery stores are willing to let an agency like ours have this bread, but so much of it, still gets thrown away and there are still people who are hungry.
This weekend as I threw away the old and went and picked up the new, I thought of Jesus - The Bread of Life. No matter how much of Jesus we use through the week, there is still a lot of Jesus left over. And there are a lot of starving people. Lets do what we can to spead THE BREAD around this week. No matter how much we spread there will be more Jesus left than we could ever imagine.
