A crumb of cake or a loaf of bread?

Job 29:1, Job 30:1-2, 16-31
Psalm 119:49-72
Acts 14:19-28
John 11:1-16

Acts 14:19-28

Whatever happens to Paul and Barnabas they just get up and carry on telling the Gentiles about Jesus and God's love. They might leave where they received a beating but wherever they go to they start again. Their joy on reporting how the Gentile's responded to the message was greater than the news of their 'discomforts' and rejections.
Half empty or half full? With God it is always half full, a crumb of good news is far more of an excuse for a party than a loaf of complaining.
Maybe this afternoon I will add a cake recipe!
