Week Five: Manna in the Wilderness
Just as the Lord provided manna (bread of life) for the children of Israel, the Lord is constantly providing for each of us. He knows our true needs even before we do, and has already provided for our lives to eternity if only we will accept the gifts from Him with willing and grateful hearts.

Task for Week 5: Showing Gratitude
Acknowledge and show gratitude for the blessings the Lord brings into your life every day.
This week look for the ways the Lord is present in each day. Keep your eyes, mind, and heart open. Look for the manna. When you feel empty and spiritually hungry for happiness in your life, pray "give us this day our daily bread. Lord help me to recognize the bread (goodness and blessings) in my life." When counting your blessings, it is also important to take action and make your gratitude known. It is useful not only to think about how we appreciate someone, but to actually show our appreciation. The same is true with God. Take time to talk about the blessings in your life with others. Take time to praise Him for His great gifts.
