A Young Boy

We are never too insignificant for the Lord. In a crowd of 5,000, a little boy became the channel of a miracle. Can you imagine the story he told his mother when he returned home that night! What he thought was normal for a lunch that his mother packed for him as he left that day. Perhaps he was on his way to the river bank to go fishing when he noticed the crowd.

Curiosity always wins, especially with little boys. He found a large crowd just hanging around listening to one man talk. But he drew closer and closer. Then he couldn't take his eyes off Jesus. I wonder if he had seen him before? Little boys don't just stand around listening. They want action, and he got it.

Did he offer his food to the disciples? I think so. His eyes must have bulged when he saw what happened to his few fish and dinner buns. His feet couldn't run fast enough to get home to tell his mother all about it. I wonder if he stuffed his pocket with few crumbs to show his mother his story was true.

What am I getting at? Only a thought—there is nothing too small for the Lord to use. He only wants what is in our hands. He can use it. But often we are tight fisted. Or perhaps you don't see that you have something He can use for his kingdom. Open your hand and your heart, give Him all. "Don't be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." Exodus 14:6

Today was good news. I went to the prosthetic doctor. He will be casting (molding a fit) me for the prosthesis on Tuesday. THEN he said, "The following Monday you will return, get your prosthesis and start walking!" That is a week from Monday!! This is too much! I'm excited.

Pray for Patrick. He's in Haiti. Lots of rain. Makes travel to the village very difficult. He is in the village after trying the 3rd route to get there. The 1st two roads were impassable. I remember those trips. So far removed and long ago, it seems.

God bless you
