Quotes From 'Wonder Bread'
But, Jesus beheld them and said unto them, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

If I live to be one hundred years old, I will never understand why the quote "It is what it is" is so prevalent, frequent and so widely used! Any situation that we can't handle or change, when brought to God is in His Hands to do what only He can do!!

Our life in Jesus Christ makes what is impossible to us, not only doable with Christ, but incredibly, extraordinarily and mind-boggling to see!! All of our doubts and fears are just evil tricks from the devil himself, meant to leave us not only empty but discouraged!

As a child I learned an invaluable and priceless lesson through prayer! I overheard my mother talking and saying she didn't have anything to give us for lunch, not even butter and bread. With a childlike faith, I went right to my bedroom and prayed a simple childlike prayer. It went something like this:

My mom says we don't even have bread for a butter and bread lunch. Would you please send us bread... and since your going to send it, could you please send us some "Wonder Bread? Amen."

I had seen the colorful dotted truck deliver delicious and warm bread on a television commercial. So as soon as my prayer was done, I ran to the living room window and waited for the truck and the bread to arrive.

As time passed and no bread came, I went back to my bedroom again to ask God for bread and this time I told God that I would take any kind of bread that He had to give to us. Once again, I was at the window waiting for a neighbor or maybe a truck to deliver bread to us, but neither

    The book Bread Givers, written by Anzia Yerzierska, exposes the underlining economic issues and challenges that Americans – especially immigrants, faced in twentieth century America. During this time period, that is the years following the progressive era, immigrants had established themselves and settled in large cities like New York. By making the immigrant Smolinsky family of six the focal point of the story and using one of the family members, Sara Smolinsky as the narrator of the story, Yerzierska reveals the extreme poverty that plagued immigrants living in the lower east side of New York as they struggled to survive. At the same time, she captures the conditions in such a way that invokes the reader’s emotions with the vivid…

    As I lay in that dark, cold hole, naked and emaciated I had lost all hold on reality and thought that I was dead, not to mention my whole family as well. I had never been more fearful in my life, paralysed by the fear of not knowing what they were going to do with me or if I was going to make it through to live another day. Then you came along, your warm caring touch and generosity restored my faith in humanity and gave me some hope, something to fight and live for. Somehow you were always there for me when I needed you the most, always bringing food and providing me with water, risking your own life in the process.…

    5. When God does not grant us what we want in prayer, we should remember that only to pray for things we need and to not be selfish about things we do not need. For example, you could pray to God to ask him to help you finish the packet, not to do it for you.…

    My life seemed to be going downhill faster than that bat that flew straight for my head. For about a year I lived in misery, living the life of a victim. Blaming everyone and everything for all that was going wrong with my life. I had lost what I thought was everything, my children, my home, my job and even stopped going to church. Then one day a friend of mine asked me to ride with her to a nearby town where her friend had just moved back from Dallas to. I reluctantly said yes and went on the hour drive to the middle of nowhere town. As we pulled up to the house of her friend I saw a beautiful young woman sitting on a wooden rocking chair with her arms in the air waving us down. Once we parked we sat on the porch with the friend and listened to her speak about all the great things God had been doing in her life since she surrendered all to Him. I sat there listening and arguing with myself on what it was I needed to do to get my life out of the rut it was in. I looked up at her and she caught my eye and said to me “God has called you to great things Katie, He just asks that you trust…

    In the article “Jesus Take the Wheel”, it explains how all of us people tend to think that this world isn't so much God's kingdom, but rather ours. God has a plan for each and every one of us, but sometimes we all feel the need to try and take matter in our own hands. We want to live life the way we want to, but we don't all get what we want. Every person's life comes with complications, and from the outside they may look perfect, but the truth of the matter is, is that nobody is perfect.…

    Two weeks later, my family and I were invited to attend a church in Greenville called NewSpring. I had not been to church in months, and I didn’t have a reason not to go, so we went. As I sat through the sermon, I was completely blown away. The preacher talked about the things I had heard all growing up, but in a way I had never thought of till that moment. He spoke of a man who left a place of glory and perfection, a place with no tears, no pain or suffering, and died on a cross to pay for the things that I had done. I was speechless. From that moment on, I knew what I could hope for. I had hope that there is a place that I will one day be in that is much better than this world will ever be. I knew at that moment that the hope I knew about was going to change my life forever. It was real hope.…
