Today church was perfect.

Just what I needed and my heart is so full.

One thing that really stuck out was in the story found in John 6:3-14.

What did Christ have to work with? 

 5 loaves of barley bread and 2 small fishes.

Where did he get them? 

A lad.

And Christ gave thanks for those few things,

and fed 5000 people ending with leftovers of 12 basketfuls!

Now the miracle is the part often focused on because it is a miracle.

But we talked about the lad. 

He gave what small contribution he had,

and it affected thousands of people.

His effect was somewhat small too -

he stopped their hunger-

but he did something greater, 

he helped Christ perform a miracle.

An ordinary, everyday person with something small to give.

We each have talents, abilities, and other things to give.

Giving those makes a difference to people

and can indeed perform miracles.
