Make Bread

Making bread from scratch can teach us so much about God’s love. We learn how love grows as well as patience while we wait for the bread to rise. We can learn forgiveness and self love as we discover that bread never has to look perfect on the outside to be amazing on the inside. Talk about other observations you encounter as you make bread.
