IT HAPPENED during the great depression of the 1930's. The Kimbrough family had nothing to eat one day, and Mr. Kimbrough was too ill to go to his work at the bakery. Mrs. Kimbrough never lost faith, however, believing that God would supply their needs. She told the children, “Let us say, ‘Praise the Lord!’ even though we have an empty flour bin.” All the family joined in saying, “Praise the Lord!”
A few minutes later the phone rang. It was the baker calling. “A batch of bread was burned. Could you folks use some?” The Kirough family danced about with joy when the bread man arrived and began piling golden brown loaves of bread, buns, and cookies on their kitchen table. The food wasn’t burned—it was just a bit too brown to sell—but it tasted wonderful to the family who had fully trusted God for their daily bread.
