Leviticus 2:4-10 Baked Grain Offering!

4Now if you bring an offering of grain baked in an oven, it must consist of fine flour, either unleavened cakes mixed with oil or unleavened wafers coated with oil.
5If your offering is a grain offering prepared on a griddle,a it must be unleavened bread made of fine flour mixed with oil. 6Crumble it and pour oil on it; it is a grain offering.
7If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan,b it must consist of fine flour with oil.
8When you bring to the LORD the grain offering made in any of these ways, it is to be presented to the priest, and he shall take it to the altar. 9The priest is to remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 10But the remainder of the grain offering shall belong to Aaron and his sons; it is a most holy part of the offerings made by fire to the LORD.

Baked or cooked grain offerings must have had a pleasant odor! Have you ever baked a loaf of bread or corn bread? How pleasant they smell! 
Baking bread was one of my fathers favorite past times. He experimented with many types and would fine tune his recipes.
I remember one time I baked a loaf of bread at my cabin and was taking care of my mother’s dog. I was going outside to work and looked at her sleeping inside and decided to put the baked loaf on the back of the stove top. After I came back in the loaf was gone! I looked inside the oven and on the table, nothing! Then the dog still sleeping in the same spot but then she burped!

Do you give thanks for your daily bread?

Blessings, David
