What was manna supposed to represent to the children of Israel? (Exodus 16:31). "Jesus corrected the Jews, asserting that 'Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven' (John 6:32). He then state His preeminent point: 'The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world' (v.33). ...The manna of Moses' time was a type of the true bread given of the Father, and that is none other than the Son. ...To their request for this bread, Jesus unambiguously announced, 'I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst' (v.35)" (Valletta, "True Bread of Life," 11).
After our session we had lunch at Eva's. This time I ordered the exact same thing that James usually orders, a chicken enchilada with green sauce and a side of refried beans. The food was good but I couldn't finish all of the refried beans. James had to heOn the way to the temple this morning we listened to "Follow Him."
The guest was Elaine Dalton, whom I love! She talked about how Moses learned of his identity and Moses 1 and that probably helped him have the confidence and faith to be a part of the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea.

I texted Sheri to see how she was doing. She told me she was worried about grandmother because she saw a fire truck at Cathi & Terry's last night. I called Cathi and she said that Lois had face planted into the bathroom floor and as a result she had a two inch gash over her right eyebrow. They decided against stitches so the medics used a glue to close it up and put a couple of bandages on it.
Cathi was anxious and she made this comment which rather shocked us. "The hospice nurse says she thinks Lois only has about 72 more hours to live."
Cathi said Lois Facetimed with Gail for about 10 seconds. She said, "I love you. Now I am ready to meet Jesus."
I told all of the kids about their grandmother and told James I would support him in whatever he wanted to do. After some contemplation he said: "I want to leave around noon tomorrow to go see Mom and stay until Sunday afternoon.
I read on Facebook that Jewel Turley had passed away. Jewel is one of Ruth Gale's good friends so I texted Ruth and told her how sorry I was.

Exodus 16:23
And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
