Wow, it’s amazing how quickly our fantastic bread has caught on. We have been busy fulfilling orders and then also replenishing the baskets we have in all of our local merchant’s stores. I am so grateful for the local people who are willing to help us out and really want to see Makers Bread succeed. We actually set up a booth at the SLHS Arts & Crafts Festival in London, KY this past weekend. We met many wonderful people. Many of them shared with us, that they had purchased our bread at various locations and really loved it. As I got a little rest on Monday, I began to think about where Makers Bread is going and then I began pondering on where it’s already been in its infancy. Just so happened that I received a phone order yesterday and was told that this time, the Banana Walnut and the Amish Friendship Bread would be traveling to Mississipi to the callers Grandparents home. Not too long ago, I received another call from a local pastor (Reverend Danny Smith). He mentioned that he had taken some of the smaller loaves all the way to the Amazon Jungle and managed to share some with a local Amazonian man. He told me that the Amazonian man had said “I like American bread!” We both shared a laugh as the Pastor had done his best impersonation of his experience. Proverbs 17:22 states that a merry heart is like good medicine but a broken spirit will dry up the bones. I still laugh when thinking about it. As of this blogomony (blog+testimony), Makers Bread has been filling bellies and touching hearts in 5 states and it can only get better!
