In the groove

7.23.2017

Daily Grace

With a spill of flour on the counter and floor, I started my baking. The outdoor temperature was perfect at 76, so I opened the windows and doors and let the breeze in.  I put in my favorite Adele CD and decided I would make a pecan pie first.

I “owed” many friends and neighbors. The pecan pie was a thank you for a friend who had saved us from a painting disaster. The breads were for neighbors and a recent widower. The cinnamon rolls were for a neighbor and for another friend who needed some support. That day I was in the rhythm of baking.  Each step flowed into the next until I was finished. What rhythm is God adding into your life today?

This message is adapted from “Rhythm of Baking,” written by Diane Frederick for the Women of the ELCA blog. Today is the seventh Sunday of Pentecost. We remember Birgitta of Sweden, renewer of the church, who died in 1373. Do you enjoy these free Daily Grace messages? If so, donate now to further the ministry.
