First, I made whole wheat bread. I even dug out the grain mill to grind my own flour. It has been so long since I have made bread, that I made one mistake and the loaves weren’t as beautiful as normal – but still yummy.
So, there is the “healthy” part.
The next part was just "fun"! My kids love cinnamon rolls and usually they are only on a special occasion table – a must for Easter and Christmas mornings!
And here is the Italian bread I made.
What does bread have to do with “life”? In the Bible, Jesus says “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst” (John 6:35). So bread is referred to as a part of our spiritual life. And in Exodus, when Moses was leading the children of Israel out of Egypt. They are tired and hungry, and God provides a kind of bread (manna) to sustain them.
For us, this bread represents life as a family. A time to gather together and connect; to build relationships that will last a lifetime; to eat a meal that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls as well.
And maybe, just maybe, that is why I am renewed by baking for my friends or family.
