miracles

Matthew 15
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
29Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down. 30Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. 31The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.
32Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."
33His disciples answered, "Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?"
34"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked.
"Seven," they replied, "and a few small fish."
35He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. 37They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 38The number of those who ate was four thousand, besides women and children. 39After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.

A story we are all probably familiar with however the familiarity of this miracle never ceased to amaze me. Jesus feed more than 4,000 people with some bread and fish. wow.

This was one of the scriptures we used every week with our campers this summer. I was always amazed by the things the kids would do and say, some of them were miracles within themselves. We often think of miracles as things that happened long ago, not really something that happens anymore. Yet we notice coincidences and little things, or look back and go. . . wow, i can't believe that all happened. I challenge you too find some miracles in your own life and smile.
God Bless!
