And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan. Exodus 16:35
It seems...no, it seems like a long time ago even now. Forty years ago, graduation from high school was months behind me and the first semester of college was in progress. It was that time in life when a person thinks he or she knows so much but the older folks tolerate them until a little struggle in life teaches us how little we actually know. Now, think of all that time eating manna bread, manna pancakes, manna mash, manna-meal, or maybe manna could only be made into little loaves of bread and that was the food for forty long years. Manna muffins anyone? We might think of the wide variety of meals we have tried in the past forty years and compare that to eating one thing, morning and night, for all of those years. It is a bit easier when several life milestones happened those forty years ago.
Each day on the journey brings us one day closer to meeting Jesus!
