DAY 21
BREAD TALK

Today was the first day of the "Devotion in Action" and we started it with the topic about Bread. I posted a status on one social networking Site and I wrote: "Bread Talk". One of my friends commented about it and she related it to the bread house "BREAD TALK". She love the store and so am I. The said store was definitely a hot spot on malls because of its delicious and unique choices of bread. The experience also was new for it is a "self-service" bread shop.

Bread is one of the "common" and "basic" foods of man. Filipinos have Pandesal. Mexicans have Tortilla. Canadians have Bagels. Jewish have Unleavened Bread. Germans have pretzels. Americans have tasty bread. But I realized that no matter what race we are, we need the Bread of Life.

Let us leave the "bad" bread that cannot satisfy and crave for the Bread that gives life. Only the Bread of Life can satisfy our hungry souls.
