“They all ate and were
satisfied. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled
twelve wicker baskets.” Luke 9:17
The story of the Loaves and
Fishes shows us that when you share what you have, even if it doesn’t seem like
that much, miracles can happen! Do not think that your gift is too small
or insignificant! Each of us has a role in God’s plan; you just need to
place your trust in the Lord. Nothing is impossible with God. You
may be the answer to someone else’s prayer.
Happy Father’s Day!!
