Breadcrumbs and the Journey Home

J.M.J. + O.B.T. + M.G.R.*

Matthew 15:27-28 

She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”  Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

Italian Style Bread Crumbs hold a privileged place in my family's collective memory.  They were a key ingredient in mom's Sunday meatballs. The smell of an Italian kitchen is as close to heaven as it gets.

  

Hansel and Gretel

When the moon came they set out, but they found no crumbs, for the many thousands of birds which fly about in the woods and fields had picked them all up. Hansel said to Gretel, "We shall soon find the way."...

Once [they were] safely across [on the back of a white duck] and had walked for a short time the forest seemed to be more and more familiar to them and at length they saw from afar their father's house. They began to run, rushed into the parlor and threw themselves around their father's neck. The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the children in the forest…

Then all anxiety was at an end and they lived together in perfect happiness.

This blog shares much in common with Hansel's failed second attempt.  I find that the birds of the internet devour the morsels before they serve their intended purpose. Land navigation seems to have lost out to internet navigation and truthful ideas to imaginative technology. 

God help us
find our way home
