Read Luke Chapter 9 (you can use a Bible you have, or follow the link)

In the last chapter we had a parable in which Jesus describes something of the Kingdom of God. Today we turn to a miracle – where Jesus enacts something of the Kingdom of God. The feeding of the 5000 is a well known passage. 2 fish, 5 loaves, 5000 hungry people… and they all had enough and the left overs filled 12 baskets. Well, I have no idea exactly what happened, but I know it to be true – that when Jesus’ is offered little things they are blessed and become great big things.

The small things matter and may seem so much bigger to their recipients. Is there a little bit of time you could give to another today… or a little bit of money… or a little smile… or a little conversation…

As another week unfolds… may you sense God’s presence and influence in your life… this Advent…

With love, truth and light…
