Sliced Bread

Haven’t we all heard the phrase “that’s better than sliced bread”? We use that term when we are amazed about something new to us, something that does just the job—like a tool specially made for one purpose, to replace one that was not just right for the job prior to that. Perhaps when color TV’s came out to replace the old black and whites that phrase was used in many households.

Why don’t we start this day off as a better than sliced bread day? Let’s make it a real “up” day! Just like everyone else on God’s green earth, we have our issues, our problems, our baggage and hurts. We have our uncertainties and our struggles to face as we walk yet another day in this walk of life. But, we certainly don’t have to be down about it in any way because we can all be proud of ourselves for at least something.

Let’s start this day as an “I’m better than sliced bread” day—because we are just that today. We are free to be us, we know that God shares His unconditional love with us, and we can realize that we aren’t the men we used to be. We have purpose, and we know we are not alone in our journey—no matter how rough it might be.

Bottom Line Thought: Repeat after me—“I am better than sliced bread today.” Now, go enjoy your day in a happy mode!
