The Human Breadmachine

Since I saw my brother in N.C. this summer, I have taken up an "old" hobby...baking bread. My sister-in-law put the idea in my head, knowing I used to bake it years ago. She was hoping we could bake some when I was visiting there. But the week got away from us, and so I just had to try it when I got home. So far, I've given away loaves to about fifty people, and am loving it!

Even when I was anxious about my brother's family, living on the Outer Banks during Hurricane Florence, baking bread took my mind off the worry. Fortunately, the major damage was about a hundred miles south of them. But it was really "touch and go" there for awhile!

God is good. As it says in Isaiah 33:16...

• "He shall dwell on high; his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure."

God will provide. Read the story of the widow's loaf in I Kings 17:8-16, where it says...

• "And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah." v. 16

For my recipe, see my blog called "Teresa Taste", at the tab at the top of this blog.

Yard Makeover

I can't wait to tell you about my yard "makeover" today! Union College students volunteer for a mass volunteer day once a year, called Project Impact. I was one of their projects this time. A crew of about 6 or 7 young people worked all morning sprucing up my front and back yards, something I am totally unable to do with my pulmonary restrictions.

My heart is filled with gratitude for all their hard work!

Thanks so much for your earnest labors today all over Lincoln, Union College. Your impact was felt by those you helped, but also seen by our heavenly Father. God bless you as you take up your studies and continue to make an impact on the world.

More than a dozen bags of yard waste now sitting on my curb!
