And They Broke Bread

Thank you for being a Bette's Box of Blessings customer. Better yet, thank you for being a friend.  I get such joy hearing how everyone is using their treasures from each month's Box to bless others and to grow their faith.

Recently, a lady I had just met invited me to her house for lunch. After accepting the invitation; I thought how unusual that was. People don’t do that anymore. And when they do, there is usually an ulterior motive. My mind immediately went to the worst-case scenarios. What if she just wants to sell me something? Maybe she wants to get my personal information. I just met this person and I’m going to her house? What am I doing?!

Have you ever experienced a time when you started second-guessing yourself? Of course you have! We’ve all done that. It’s so easy to do. That little voice starts asking questions and pretty soon you’re questioning your own sanity!

In my case, the Holy Spirit reminded me of the sense of peace I had when I first met her. How we quickly connected over a shared faith in Jesus. And how in that moment I thought, “she’s my age; we could become good friends.”

Which brings me to the theme verse for this month’s Box of Blessings:

They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.

Acts 2:46b (NIV)

For the early church, the term “breaking bread” held both practical and spiritual significance.
