our daily bread store page 3 by ric gustafson


Fran sipped some coffee as she noticed how beautiful the day was. As she stood just outside the front door of her business, she stared across Highway 86 at her rival bread store. How could anyone including Wilma Anderson name a bread store ' our daily bread store'. What made her more mad was the fact that her business seemed to be growing and her store at last count was losing some. She shook her head when she saw two of her favorite customers coming out the door. " Good morning Walt".
" Good morning Fran" the elderly man said as he held the door open for his wife Doris. " It's a beautiful morning today".
" That it is". She smiled at the long time customers. " Thanks for coming in this morning".
" We love your homemade white bread" Doris said as she showed her the sack.
" I'm glad to hear that".
" To be honest, we also like to go over to ' our daily bread store ' and get Wilma's special bread".
" Special bread?".
" Yes, have a good day".
The elderly couple waved as they got into their car and left.
Resentment and anger came to Fran's face as she stared across Highway 86.


Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
