So thankful that this was a blessing to you - in fact, I've been back several times just to re-read it myself, lol! The Lord has just enough that is sufficient for today, and it is a beautiful thing to rest knowing that! Indeed, all the simple things of life that have to be taken care of, we can do joyfully, knowing the bigger things are in His capable hands. Great peace in knowing that! <br /><br />I hope someday you try some sourdough, I've had so many wonderful adventures with it! <br /><br />I pray you and your family enjoy a safe and wonderful holiday weekend, and hope to stop by to see you soon! May the Lord continue to bless you with the richness of His presence! :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489696027613465792.post-69001086586000872192015-06-30T06:47:16.224-07:002015-06-30T06:47:16.224-07:00Morning, What I liked about this also was how long...Morning, What I liked about this also was how long it takes for sour dough bread to rise.

Why should we fear? Why should we worry? God's got a much bigger plan in store for us all. I read His book, I all ready know who wins, so why do we need to doubt what the Lord has in store? I love it! I love that He gives us a portion each day. Whatever it looks like, it's ours to take if we want it. Today is a good day. I will be happy in the things laid before me. Laundry, baking, taking care of my family. The simple things.<br /><br />Enjoy that bread... I have yet to try and conquer a sour dough bread. <br /><br />I am so glad I stopped by today.

I agree that while in working around my home, many times that is where the Lord and I have the most beautiful conversations, and I learn so much. Indeed, I can't imagine my life without the peace that comes from Him. It is so wonderful to be His child, and we truly are blessed!

Being an avid breadmaker myself, I too enjoy the time I spend reflecting on certain things close to my heart at the time whilst kneading the dough... It is a time of quietness, even though my hands are busy with the constant folding and kneading...just like our lives within the Master's capable hands...:)<br />We are truly blessed to be able to wait upon the Lord for our daily bread - strength, grace, mercy, provision...<br />Oh, I loved what you shared here today...just what I kneaded...oops!

I think it helps to have a visual reminder though that we can just let it go into the Lord's capable hands. The almond milk worked great! The recipe called for water, and so I knew the milk would be just fine, and it was. The bread was very tender and moist. Maybe you need to find another bread machine, and try some sourdough. I feel miserable when I eat any other kind of yeast bread, but I can have a small daily portion of my sourdough bread, without any tummy troubles. Usually yard sales and thrift stores are great places to find bread machines, I got mine at a yard sale for $5 lol! I'll probably be wearing it out soon! Glad to see you back home!

One day I will turn it over to the Lord and the next day I take it back again. I am great at reclaiming the worry I have given away. <br />How did the coconut milk work? I so miss my bread machine.

I would be glad to share the little I know, lol! Indeed, I love bread, but I have found that sourdough is the only bread that I can eat that I can still get along with later in the day... lol!
