Our Daily Bread

At Grace Thyme Cottage, we enjoy different foods. We enjoy having the freedom to pick, choose and eat what we desire. We have taken to heart those words of Jesus. Do not worry about what you will eat or drink. We decided in 2008 to stop worrying about the amount of calories, fat, sodium, carbs in our daily bread. We eat and give thanks.

*Breakfast:

Mr. Darling: a fried egg, 1½ slices bacon and a piece of bread lightly toasted with butter in a cast iron skillet. He also had a cold glass of orange juice.

Tinkerbell: a simple scrambled egg and 1½ slices of bacon.

Young Mr: a fried egg, 1½ slices bacon and a piece of bread lightly toasted with butter in a cast iron skillet. He did not have orange juice.

And I had a fried egg and a slice of cold ham.

Mr. and I shared a pot of coffee this morning. He takes his black, unsweetened. I enjoy mine black and sweetened with a pinch or two of powdered Stevia.

** Lunch:

I ate re-heated baked chicken thigh and broccoli.
Tinkerbell had a peanut butter sandwich. She just wanted a little something as she will be hanging out with friends this afternoon.
Young Mr. had some of the baked ham.

Mr. had in his lunch bag: a fried boneless pork loin chop and sliced red rind cheese. He eats no bread with this.
However, during his breaks he has a container with "peanut butter cracker sandwiches." These are two crackers with peanut butter spread between them. He takes 8 of those.

A treat for Mr. a container of Chips Ahoy mini chocolate chip cookies were tucked into his lunch bag.

I do not make it a habit of buying this. We only have them, because Young Mr. used to ask for them. I would say NO!

Then one day I said, Sure! On the way home he wanted them. I explained to him that they were not in the vehicle where they could be reached and he'd have to wait until we got home. When we did get home I put them into the cabinet. He never asked for them again and I didn't volunteer them to him. For about a month this happened every time we went to Wal-Mart, which was once a week. We waited to see if Young Mr. would ask for them, but he hasn't. So I have been sending them with Mr in his lunch bag. Oh and he no longer ask for the chips ahoy mini chocolate chip cookies there in the checkout lane. Mr. has one/two more containers.

BTW, You can find these in Wal-Mart's check out lane for $1.

***Supper:

Mr: hamburger with catsup and mustard, tater tots with catsup and oven fried asparagus spears.
I had a plain hamburger and oven-fried asparagus spears. Like a hamburger steak with no gravy.
Young Mr. had a burger and tater tots with catsup. He does not eat asparagus.
Tinkerbell and a friend went to see Sherlock Holmes then ate at McDonald's afterward.

Mr. and I share coffee after supper. Once again his is black and unsweetened. Mine is black and sweetened with stevia. The difference is the Sam's Choice Organic Blend Decaffeinated medium roast, swiss water processed. It comes in a 10 oz package and cost $6.

We are His little children, fed daily by a loving, generous Abba. He has fed us with abundance. We rest tonight filled His amazing Grace. We bow heads and give thanks to Him who provides.

Every thing is Grace.
