"Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to the people. Afterwards he did the same with the fish, and they all ate as much as they wanted."
-John 6:11
Hearing our older kids reminisce, sometimes leads to some eye opening news to us as parents.
This story reminds me of one incident my daughter recalls. She said "my mom is the only one I know who can make a full meal when the cabinets are empty. Now not literally of course, but she remembered when our cabinets and refrigerator had plenty of food, but to her it looked like there wasn't much there (think maybe because it wasn't what "she wanted)?
Just like this story, Jesus blesses in abundant ways. We can all recall times when, whether it was food or something else, Jesus provided. I think our message this week is such a precious reminder that He is still doing that today. The problem; however, we forget to ask him for provision.
Life in general, is reason for us to forget to lean in to Him for what we need. We all have issues that distract us from the One and only One who can help us, whether it be food for our next meal, work, family issues etc.
Let us remember how Jesus provided with the five loaves and two fish and remember that our Jesus is the same today as he was in their day. If He did it for them, He can, and will do it for us. Hebrews 13:8
Oh, by the way we had leftovers at our house too.
Our job??? Trust and leave it with Him.
