Been slacking on reading my bible, but I opened Aarons up tonight.... Funny I ended up in Matthew, I dont spend a great deal of time in the gospels, as Im rather familiar with them from my Catholic heritage... But whats surprising is I ended up on the page that has this story.... And at the beginning of the Christmas season the spirit sort of opened up this exact story to me... The disciples were looking at things in the natural.... Saying send them away to get food, but Jesus, said. No you give them something to eat. The disciples say we only have this little bit. Jesus says, give me what you have, and whatever you give me, I will multiply and EVERY need was met... Overflowing .... Its a great word for #2015multiply 15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, This is a remote place, and its already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food. 16 Jesus replied, They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat. 17 We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish, they answered. 18 Bring them here to me, he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children. #biglove
