“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but, how far will they go among so many?” - John 6:9
Here is a story about one person who made a difference. In John’s account of the gospel, the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand began when a young boy shared his lunch. For background, Jesus and His disciples had crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee “and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick” (John 6:2). It was near the celebration of the Jewish Passover, thus the crowds of people were great in number. Jesus had compassion for them. The disciples knew Jesus wanted to feed them, but how with so little resources? Philip, the practical disciple, ran the numbers and came to the conclusion “Eight months’ wages would not buy enough for each one to have a bite!” (John 6:7). Andrew, known for bringing people to Jesus, brought a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish but that was hardly enough to feed five thousand people. Jesus instructed the disciples to have the people sit down (John 6:10). “Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish” (John 6:11). As it turned out they had more than enough to eat and the people believed Him to be the long awaited Prophet (John 6:12-14). “Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself” (John 6:15). The obvious takeaway from this story is how God meets human needs, sometimes in miraculous ways. There is also a message of how we can partner with God to make a difference. I would like for us to see this story through the eyes of one young boy. It is hard to imagine what he felt like when Jesus called upon him to share his lunch. Like the disciples, he may have questioned it. He may have felt excited to be called upon to help. I think the real message of this miracle is how God takes our little and makes it much. The Bible talks about the importance of little things. The staff of Moses (Exodus 4:2), the jawbone of a donkey (Judges 15:15); five smooth stones (I Samuel 17:40), a tiny mustard seed (Matthew 13:32). The Savior of the world came from the small town of Nazareth. Jesus talked about the value of one lost sheep, one lost coin and one lost son. In the realm of Christian living, it is not what we have that counts. It is Who we have with us! When we feel our talents are not sufficient enough, or our gifts are not great enough; or our efforts are not strong enough; let us remember what God did with one boy’s lunch. There are people who need to be fed and housed. Christian Neighbors is always looking for volunteers. There are people who need to feel loved, encouraged and accepted. There are people who need our prayers, our voice and our support. Sometimes all it takes is one. The question is whether or not we will be that one person who will step up and help!
Prayer: Dear Lord, you can count on me to help! In Your strong name. Amen.

He is a higher energy dog and would love an active family to keep him exercised and give him plenty of love and attention. Kids that are 12 years old and older would be a good match for Loki.
