Our Daily Manna June 2019 Day 1
TOPIC: THE SMALL LOAF, THE LITTLE GIRL AND CONTENTMENT
BASIC SCRIPTURES: 1 TIMOTHY 6:1-6; HEBREWS 13:5-6
Once when there was a famine, a kind, rich baker sent for twenty f the poorest children in the town and said to them: “In this basket there is a loaf for each of you. Take it and come back to me every day at this hour till God sends us better times.” The hungry children always quarrelled over the bread, because each wished to have the largest loaf At last, they went away without even thanking the Good Samaritan. But Gretchen, a poorly dressed little girl, did not quarrel or struggle with the rest, but remained standing quietly to the side.

When the ill-behaved children had left, she took the SMALLEST LOAF, which alone was left in the basket, kissed the gentleman hand and went home. The next day, the children were as ill-behaved as before and again, poor timid Gretchen received a loaf scarcely half the size of the one she got the first day. When she went home and her mother cut the loaf open, new shining pieces of Silver fell out Of it! Her mother was very much alarmed and said, “Take the money back to the good gentleman at once, for it must have ‘ gotten into the bread by accident.
Be quick, Gretchen, be quick.” But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “No, no my child, it was no mistake, I had the silver pieces put into the SMALLEST LOAF to reward you. Always be as contented, kind and thankful as you are now. Go home now, and tell your mother that the money is yours.” What a life-long lesson! I put it this way: inside the small loaf is wealth! Inside the small loaf is great favour/fortune! Inside the small loaf is long life! No wonder Charles Lamb said: “My motto is: Be contented with little, yet wishing for more.” A Spanish proverb says. “Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we get.”
Heaven through today’s two scriptures is speaking to you again about the need to be thankful for where you are, while believing God to get to where you should be. In this 2nd quarter of 2019, never forget: Inside the small loaf is wealth! Inside the small loaf is great favour/fortune and long life. Yes! Inside contentment is Peace, Good Health and Long Life! Will you be contented? Our Daily Manna June 2019 Day 1 – THE SMALL LOAF, THE LITTLE GIRL
