Earlier in the day, my wife and I were standing in line at our favorite breakfast place. While waiting, we chatted with a wonderful elderly frail gentleman that we knew. He had once been my teacher. As my elderly teacher was about to order, his eyes fixed on a lone hot cross bun resting on some crumbs atop a display that obviously earlier had been filled with this delightful treat. His finger was shaking as he pointed to it and said: "I think I'll take one".
This earlier experience and hearing Hot Cross Buns being played on the recorder, led me to do some research on the Internet. This is what I found.
"It is traditional to eat warm 'hot cross buns' on Good Friday. Hot Cross Buns with their combination of spicy, sweet and fruity flavours have long been an Easter tradition." Read about them here.
God is so good, that he brought me His message through a "teacher", a child and a "recorder".
May the peace of Christ be with you also; today and always. Do I smell something baking in the oven?
"Hot cross buns, Hot cross buns, One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns."

Oh what a neat story- and all on Good Friday! God works in mysterious ways sometimes! :)
Awesome... I often stupidly think that God is focused on the Big, eternal things in life and, in my mind I limit Him, by thinking that the seemingly mundate matters are outside of God's care. Its so evident, through these kinds of daily experiences, that God really does care about us so much and He's in control of all things, great and small.
I'm hungry... Amy and a friend just finished planning and shopping for Easter dinner. I'll have to try to sneak in some Hot Cross Buns for dessert.
