Saturday Share: Daily Bread with Jordan Headlee

~ Lisa Brittain

So why does daily bread hit home you might think?  It wasn't because the grocery shelves were empty.  It wasn't because of price gouging what was left.  Driving US 41 most of the way - back country roads, singing with the radio, windows down, with my 4 favorite people in our tiny Ford Escape; it was stress-free and kind of fun.  Realizing if I had to start again with just my children and my wife we'd be ok.  They are my daily bread.  A house, stuff, toys, everything left behind could be done without or replaced.

Saturday Share: True Gold Magazine with Chloe

…What I have I give you

Because we belong to Jesus (we are His and He is ours) we are able to meet overwhelming circumstances face to face with confidence and bold JOY.  Jesus is our example.  He encountered crowds of physically, emotionally and mentally broken and hurting people who pressed in on Him everywhere He traveled.  We carry God's compassion, just as Jesus did; so we don't have to duck from any person in distress.

Five Minute Friday: Steady

Steady would negate fun things like roller coasters and waves and see saws and swings and cartwheels.
