Making Bread. Breaking Bread.

I’m speeding through life and romanticizing a slow ride. I can’t live a slow life because… I can really come up with a laundry size list of all the reasons.

-I have kids

-There is just no time (😂)

-Life is just to busy

Here comes January in a hurry. I typically make plans that I fail on following through with. So here is to making a plan and following through. Maybe posting will keep me honest and following through!

In 2025 we are slowing downnnnn… what better way to start that by making bread… that takes 6-7 days to even start lol.

God ask us to make time for Him. In the hustle of life, I am guilty of saying “there just isn’t enough time.” I am starting early, with day one in the books, before the new year even starts. I’m going to make bread in 6-7 days and I’m going to do some bread breaking and communion with God while I wait❤️ who’s with me?

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, finding moments of stillness can feel daunting. Many individuals yearn to break free from the hustle and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Making bread, an age-old tradition, not only nourishes the body but also the soul. This article emphasizes the importance of dedicating time for oneself and for God amidst the chaos of everyday responsibilities. As we approach a new year, consider the practice of intentionally setting aside time to create something wholesome. The bread-making process, which spans several days, serves as a metaphor for the patience and commitment required in our spiritual walks. Engaging in this ritual allows individuals to reflect, pray, and meditate, thereby deepening their faith and connection with their community. Moreover, bread has long been a symbol of sharing, particularly in communal religious practices. As the author hints at the concept of 'breaking bread,' it encourages followers to engage in fellowship with family and friends, strengthening bonds and creating lasting memories. Incorporating slow living principles can foster a more fulfilling life, leading us back to the roots of gratitude and mindfulness. Try taking the first steps by creating a plan that focuses on both your bread-making adventure and your spiritual journey. Perhaps start with simple recipes and gradually explore different types, allowing the process to refine your skills and deepen your appreciation for this craft. In this way, each loaf becomes not just food, but a fulfilling experience of joy, community, and spiritual unity.
