our daily bread store page 4 by ric gustafson


Fran stood behind a tree. She watched as customers walked out of Wilma's store. She watched as they walked by her smiling. What surprised Fran was that hardly anyone was leaving with actual bread.
She stopped a customer. " This is a bread store right?".
" It sure is".
" How come you don't have any bread?".
" You should go in and check it out for yourself".
Fran quietly walked in. She walked past a rack of Palestine bread. She was shocked. Hardly anything looked like an actual bread store.
Wilma walked out of the backroom holding a bible.
" Wilma". She gave her a perplexed stare. " Why is there hardly any actual bread in this bread store?".
Wilma smiled as she opened the bible. " Give us this day our daily bread".
" What are you talking about?".
" Daily bread involves more than just physical bread".
" It does!".
" Daily bread includes our physical and spiritual bread".
" What about our hunger?".
She walked over and got a loaf of the wheat bread. She put it into a sack. " Our daily bread provides what we need from day to day". She put her bible into the sack. " I'm going to give you my bible". She gave Fran a hug. " Study the Lord's Prayer".
Fran picked up the sack and left.
A customer walked in.
" Welcome to Our Daily Bread Store".
