Sabbath Keeping

by Sandra Bennett
Sabbath Keeping· TCF

27 Apr

“They asked, and he brought them quail;
he fed them well with the bread of heaven.”
~ Psalm 105:40 ~ 

“The hunger for love is a lot more difficult 
to remove than the hunger for bread.” 
~ Mother Teresa ~

“How can a nation be called great if its bread tastes like Kleenex?”  ~ Julia Child ~

“All sorrows are less with bread.”
~ Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ~

“Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts.”
~ James Beard ~

“Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse – and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness –
And Wilderness is Paradise now.”
~ Omar Khayyam ~

“Here is bread which strengthens man’s heart, and is therefore called the staff of life.” ~ Matthew Henry ~

“Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.”
~ Nelson Mandela ~

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou.” ~ Omar Khayyam ~

The sky is the daily bread for the eyes.” ~ Emerson ~

“In the Lord’s prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach.” ~ Woodrow Wilson ~

“I am God’s wheat and I shall be ground by the teeth of beasts, that I may become the pure bread of Christ.”
~ Ignatius of Antioch ~

“Truth is, I think, if God just gave us our daily bread, many of us would be angry. ‘That’s all you’re going to give me. You’re just going to give me enough to sustain me for today? What about tomorrow or next year or 10, 20, 30 years from now? I want to know that I’m set up.’ And yet Jesus says just pray for your daily provisions.” ~ Francis Chan ~

“Bread for myself is a material question.
Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one.”
~ Nikolai Berdyaev ~ 

“Bread Upon The Water” By The Gaither Vocal Band

“Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. 
Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, 
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” 
~ John 6:35 ~ 

Do you have a name for the prayer list? (btw, someone gave me a name and…I am so very sorry…but I cannot find the e-mail and I cannot remember the name. Please tell me again.)

    I very nearly missed this very important bunch of quotes on a primal theme! Thanks so much; Julia's comment is well taken, and makes me think some breadmaking would do me some good right now.

    Julia Child had a good comment on bread. She was such a great cook.
    Hope your day was happy and restful. ~:)

    Your quote by Chan above is, I think, one of the real keys to the Christian's life, but so few understand it. We're asked to trust God for tomorrow, all of it, and think only of today. And yet … the same Jesus who told us to ask for bread for today only, also told us we would never hunger or thirst — never, ever — if we believe in him. So there's a guarantee for all the tomorrows too, which is just so odd. Thanks for all this.

    Hi Sandra, I like all your quotes and Scripture that you have shared. It really made me smile to stop by. We have had non stop rain and cold weather. We need the moisture but it is very cold. It is good to see you here. Have a wonderful week and I have enjoyed stopping by.Take care.
