fish and loaves

A modern day illustration of Jesus multiplying the loaves of bread and the fish to feed everyone.

Every sunday, my church provides breakfast for anyone that will come to a small testimonial service between the large services. The number of people we serve changes every week, but there is always just enough food for everyone.
It doesn't matter if we are serving 30 or 60, everyone always gets a full plate and there are always seconds.
Mind you, we start cooking before the people get there and often don't know the end number till we are ready to serve up plates. We serve the same thing every sunday, and make the same amount.

But every sunday, God is good. And he cares for everyone who comes in the morning to fill their stomachs. In fact, this is usually the only actual meal I get on Sundays.

This is one of my favorite ministries,
and it always reminds me of Jesus feeding his people with whatever was given him.
We use what we can, and we all eat our fill.



You know, If I just cooked for the breakfast ministry once, or even just every once and a while, I probably would not have been able to see this amazing blessing - this miracle in a way.
It's only because I'm there every week to see the different numbers, and the same food, and the way God provides every time.

Maybe that's a big part of ministry and seeing God's work.
Being consistent and seeing his blessings over time
