Today is Easter and as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord, I come to recall that He is the "Bread of Life" through Him our spiritual lives are fed and our souls noursished.
In keeping with the theme of Bread and life, my mind began to wonder (as it often does)on my own love of Bread...I never knew, I had this passion until I ventured home with my then "boyfriend" Stephen to meet the family. You must understand that bread in my home growing up was wheat or white from a bag and only "daddy" had it with his meal. I found it boring without flavour and SQUARE!
So as I set down with this family that would soon welcome me as one one of their own, I have for the first time the pure pleasure of "BUTTER BREAD" yes you heard me right, plain white bread with BUTTER!
Well to make a long story short, which is always painful for me, I was sure I was in love not only with Stephen and his family but Bread and Butter. Side point to the story Alex has always stated that Grandma Schumacher should open a resturant and sell "toast" all day..he believes she would make a killing...and I have a firm thought that she would.
Through the past 23 years I have thrilled at the adventure of trying new breads, experimenting with additons to my dough but never forgetting that when we sit together as a family and break bread our hearts and bodies are filled with not only physical nourishment but with the unending love of family and faith.
So I invite you this week to break some bread with your family and by all means spread a little butter and love on each slice!
