our Daily Bread Store holiday special page 4 by ric Gustafson


Fran stood behind a tree and watched as customers walked out of Wilma's store. She noticed that people were coming out with smiles on their faces but with hardly any bread in their hands. She thought that was odd.
She stopped a customer as they walked out. " If this is a bread store, why is it that you are not carrying out a lot of bread?".
" You should go in and find out for yourself".
She quietly walked in and was amazed at what she saw. Hardly anything inside looked like an actual bread store.  She noticed only a couple racks of wheat bread in one corner.
Wilma walked out of a backroom holding a bible in one hand.
Fran had a surprised stare on her face. " Wilma, why is there hardly any bread being sold in this bread store?".
Wilma smiled and opened the bible to a specific page. " Give us this day our daily bread".
Fran stomped a foot. " What are you talking about?".
" Daily bread involves more than just daily physical bread".
She scratched her head in confusion. " It does".
" Our daily bread includes our physical, spiritual and our general well being".
Fran looked at the bread racks. " What about our hunger?".
" Our daily bread provides what we need from day to day". She walked over and picked up a loaf of wheat bread. She put the bread and the bible into a sack. " I'm giving you my bible so you can read about our daily bread for yourself".
Fran smiled as she left with the sack.
A customer walked in. Jesus smiled. " Welcome to our Daily Bread Store".

The End
