This one has Steven talking about this story. But I’ll tell you what, he brings this message home in that last minute.
That was huge for two reasons. Number one, we need to let our light shine. But, number two, God already gave us a role that we are constantly trying to audition for.
Why do we do that?
Part of it is that we feel like we have to work for things. We feel like we have to earn our place.
The man who has done his best has done everything. Charles M. Schwab
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland
Simply put, we all could use a little more patience.
For me, as a child of God who has the Holy Spirit, I am expected to be patient. It is something that is a part of who I am.
It can still be hard to exercise it. We want results now, and all of this technology encourages this. What we need to do is learn to wait. Just sit down and wait.
I’m not saying stop living. Keep on living your life. But, when you’re in traffic, remain calm. There’s nothing you can do about the situation. So, instead, change your outlook. Be patient. Wait for it…wait for it…
When you’re waiting on God to answer your prayer…be patient. Hold on. Understand that His time is best.
It sure isn’t easy to wait for that little or big hand to reach the number we want, but we have to do it. It’s for our benefit.
Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. Ralph Marston
Laugh if you want, but sliced bread has been awesome. Let’s take a look at how it all started.
On this day in 1928, the Chillicothe Baking Company produced the first loaves of sliced bread.
Located in Chillicothe, Mo., the bread-maker used a slicing machine created by Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, to mechanically slice its Kleen Maid Sliced Bread.
The baker advertised its sliced bread as “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.” The saying “the greatest thing since sliced bread” is thought to have grown out of the advertising slogan.
Well, thank you Mr. Otto!
Hold on now! Did you know that sliced bread was banned at some point?
After being initiated in January, the ban on sliced bread was lifted in March of 1943. The government said that the savings were not as much as were expected, but the quick turnaround of the ban likely had to do with the severe backlash from producers and consumers.
Really great article by Mental Floss.
Sliced bread changed the lives of Americans and eventually the world, for the better if only because it was more convenient.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a PB&J sandwich to eat.
