is John 6: 1-15 The story of the boy with 5 loaves and 2 fish.
I helped out in Sunday School this morning. It was a fun time with the little ones. The message for our Sunday School class was about sharing. It was about the miricle of Jesus feeding so many people with just 5 loaves and 2 fish. This is a pre-school class and learning about Jesus and sharing are great lessons for our children to learn. I though about this bible story. It's a well know story. One I never really thought about. But I was curious. So when I got home I decided to google the story. I was looking for pther message or lessons from the story of the boy who shared his lunch. This young boy stepped up and did his part. He gave what he could. He probably thought it was not enough but he gave all he had. Jesus took this boys gift, blessed it and shared it with the crowd. Nobody went hungry and there was more than enough for the crowd to eat. The boy's small gift was more than enough. As I read the various articles about this story, it made me think about the lessons from the Own Your Future Challenge hat I particpated in this week. I thought about sharing our gifts. We may feel what we have is insignifican; it's not enough; it will have little or no impact. The boy may have felt that way about is gift of 5 small loaves and 2 fish. It probably seemed like not enough but he gave it anyway. This story shows that what we bring to the table is important. We need to share our gifts and talents even when we feel they are not enough. You never know how God will use your gift and what mpact it will have on the lives of others. You never know who needs what you have to share. You may be surprised by how many people you can help with the gift that you don't think is good enough. Share your gifts and have faith that your gift will make a difference to someone.
