About This Quote
Dietrich Bonhoeffer famous saying, "I believe in a God who not only intervenes in human affairs--again and again--but one who also makes banquets out of stale bread."

I also believe that this God is the loving Father that will do anything it takes to provide for us. The quote stated above does not mean that you sit around all day stuffing your face with stale bread. It simply means that when times are tough, God is there to provide for us.
