Cozy Devotional No. 2: “Daily Bread and Daffodils”
Scripture: Matthew 6:11 – “Give us this day our daily bread.”
It was early, before the sun had fully shaken off its morning yawn. Kit stood in her little kitchen, hands dusted with flour, mixing a new muffin recipe inspired by the daffodils blooming outside her window. Lemon poppyseed with a surprise swirl of honey butter in the center — something bright and steady.
As she spooned the batter into tins, her mind wandered to all the ways she’d been carried by “just enough.” Enough strength to keep going. Enough creativity to bake through grief. Enough courage to start something new when everything else felt too quiet.
Today’s verse had come to her as she folded a dish towel with her mom’s embroidered initials on it: Give us this day our daily bread.
Sometimes “bread” meant muffins. Sometimes it meant a phone call from Honey or Huck, or a laugh that made her chest ache in the best way.
She whispered it aloud, like a kitchen prayer:
“Thank You for today’s portion. I don’t need tomorrow’s answers yet. Just this warmth. Just this grace.”
And outside, the daffodils turned their golden faces toward the light — just enough.
