JesusTime Devotion
by Joey Capuano

We know this line by heart, many of us having learned it when we first started learning how to talk. But it takes on new meaning in this season of Thanksgiving! Let's consider this together today!

God has used bread as an analogy for myriads of Blessings throughout history. Through the Old Testament and through the New Testament, we hear about "manna from Heaven," the little child sharing his five loaves of bread with Jesus so He could feed the thousands, and most importantly, through the metaphor of Jesus being the Bread of Life. What do all of these analogies mean?

They represent God's eternal benevolence, generosity, and Love. He always gives to us. How can we show gratitude?

By "giving of our daily bread" - through our acts of love, of charity, of lending a helping hand, of sharing food with others (especially those in need), and through many other ways! Especially in this month, when many people celebrate Thanksgiving, let us remember that not all people have the ability to prepare food every day for their little ones, let alone a feast.

Instead of some of our leaders trying to cut many of the programs that provide people with food and other everyday needs, we really need to work as a human family, as a Christian family, to "give our daily bread" to our family - our family in Christ! Through food, care, and love, let us work together to be able to fulfill this!

God bless us all!
