\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n In this biblical story, thousands of people had gathered to listen to Jesus teach and perform healings. By nightfall, there was nothing for these people to eat. When Jesus asked one of his disciples where they could buy bread to feed them, the disciple replied that it would be impossible to buy enough bread for everyone.<\/p>\n A young boy offered his lunch. Jesus took the five small loaves and the two small fishes, blessed the food, and began to break it into pieces for the hungry crowd. He kept giving food until everyone had their fill, and there were even leftovers.<\/p>\n This story reminds me of my mother telling us the story of when she was growing up in a small town in Italy. Those times were scarce, and although they were poor, they shared their food and always managed to have enough. She told me the more they gave, the more they had.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When there\u2019s a will, there will always be a way, a way of sharing that is inspired by faith and prayer. When we bring to Jesus what we think are small gifts, He will multiply them. Give what you have and let God turn the ordinary into extraordinary miracles.<\/p>\n God reminds us that we are not only good enough, but that we are also more than enough. We usually tend to think we are not enough, focus on what we don\u2019t have, and fail to appreciate all the little things we do have. Little can be much when you give and put your trust in God.<\/p>\n Live your life in hope, faith, and gratitude. Give thanks for your daily bread and recognize all the blessings you receive from God. When you sit down for your next meal, give thanks to all the people that have made your meal possible, from the farmers to the people who drive the trucks to bring you the food to the stores that sell you the food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Have compassion towards people and be generous, especially to those who are in need. Think of ways to share with them, no matter how small, whether it be food, donations, spending your time, lending your ears, or a helping hand. It\u2019s the little things that can make a big difference in their hearts and their lives.<\/p>\n Remember that God never gives us what we cannot handle. Give it your all just as He gave his all to you. By inviting God into your life, you can maximize the little you think you have and watch it grow into something amazing.<\/p>\n With God by your side, all things are possible. Trust and believe. Care and share.<\/p>\n Antoinette Giacobbe M.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 In this biblical story, thousands of people had gathered to listen to Jesus teach and perform healings.
