Homemade Bread

I love when the house is filling up with the scent of freshly rising bread. That has to be one of the most lovely scents on earth. Nothing smells more like home to me than fresh bread; pure loveliness. It warms my heart to know that my children associate that sort of thing with me. When Jacob saw a picture of St. Martha in his children’s Bible baking bread, he said that it was mommy. And he gets so excited each time I pull out the mixer because he knows something good is coming. It is a nice feeling to make other people’s day a little sweeter with something as simple as a muffin or a loaf of bread.
