Today it snowed. Beautiful white snow that covered everything. What a blessing! One that reminds me of God's love for me.
After I scooped snow for two hours this morning, yes, I did get up at 6 a.m. to shovel that blessed white stuff, I got out my bread machine and made bread. When that was done, I made cinnamon rolls. They were both delicious. I love using my bread machine. Not just because of the yummy breads and rolls I can make with it, and I do, but because of the story behind it.
That bread machine is more than a decade old. One of my mom's friends sold it to me. She had a second-hand store. She bought it brand new for her own personal use and never got around to using it. She sold it to me for $25. What a bargain! I've used it to make white bread, wheat bread, cinnamon rolls, bagels, pizza dough and more.
I love the fact that I got a brand new machine for only $25. I also love that fact that it is very easy to make bread. Clean-up is a breeze! But, the best thing is that I remember my mom's friend, who was also my friend, every time I use it. And that is a blessing in itself.
