“Daddy, why is there a hole in my bread?”
Mommy spoke up, frustrated by what she saw as a failed effort to bake a loaf of healthy whole-grain bread. “It must not have been wet enough when I rolled it up, honey. Or I need to roll it tighter. It’ll be better next time.”
Daddy wasn’t going to let his hard-working wife get away with putting herself down. He said, “That’s not just any hole. What does it look like?”
“Ummm–a heart, Daddy?”
“Exactly! It’s there because whatever Mommy does for us, it’s with love.”
Haha, extra brownie points for Dad there! 🙂

Dear Linda,
Daddy has the right perspective and knows how to deliver a much kneaded word with love. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
