In the book of Mark we find that JESUS
fed
not ONE but TWO massive crowds of people.
The first one was 4,000 people HE divided into
companies of fifty (I believe) and with 7 loaves
of bread and two little fish, HE fed them all...
and they even gathered up 12 baskets of leftovers!
Then HE fed the crowd of 5,000 with only 5 loaves
of bread and again two fish...and they too, took
up extra baskets of leftover food! WOW! How
would you like to feed your family like that?
I, for one, know this works because one
time
in Wapakoneta, Ohio when I lived there, back
in 1973 through 1980...my spouse was out of a
job and things were getting rough on the old
pocket book, if you know what I mean. And one
morning I got up there was nothing in the
cabinets to eat; so I looked in the fridge and I
just about cried...I only had ONE egg, enough
milk to fill about half a small glass (about
6 ounces), and TWO slices of bread. I had to
fix breakfast for three children and myself...
and so I did the only thing, I knew what to do.
I prayed and asked that GOD bless it and to
let it fill us full...the kids each had about two
ounces of milk, and the ONE egg was split
THREE ways (scrambled) and each of us had a
half slice of toast (I also had a sip of milk and
only a bite of egg for the toast)...and I lie not,
when I say that when we ate that "little gift from
GOD", we were ALL FULL, and the kids even
burped when they were finished!
I remember many things that GOD has done
for me throughout my lifetime that would make
some of you shout "GLORY TO GOD"!
Or shake your head in doubt, and wonder
about my sanity!
JESUS said:
"I AM the bread of life."
He told the woman at the
well, that if she drank
from the water that HE
had to give her, she would
never thirst again.
HE is the MANNA
from heaven, and
the WATER of LIFE.
Come unto HIM all of you who are tired and
weary and thirsty and hungry...to be fed,
be refreshed, be filled and made whole by the
Living SON of GOD!

Some Home-Spun Humour ~
Here are a few tales that I am going to tell all of you about my niece and
me...the picture you see at the top is one that was taken not long ago, when she
was visiting back in Kentucky (she lives in Nevada). She is my sweet friend as
well as my niece and sister-in-CHRIST. So here goes a few little tales about
when we were very little!
She was born in Sept. 21, 1952. I was four years old when she came "squalling
into my world". I say that, because up til then I had my sister, Jean (her
mother) to myself! With Mother working such long hours and..it was left up to
the older kids to watch the younger ones. The age difference was quite a
big-gap. My older brother, Nick, was 16 years older than me, and Jean was 13
years older, I think..so when she was 16 she got married and left home. Well, I
cried and pined my little heart out for her, until Mother called the doctor (I
was actually "pining away" for her, as they used to call it) and then she got
hold of Jean and she came home real quick and brought me a set of little
duckies..the Mama duck and three baby duckies..you pulled them by the
string..they had wheels and all "quacked" as they waddled behind. I got better,
needless-to-say..*S*
and she took me home with her for awhile..I remember the place it was at too. I
see it in my mind..the street was not busy and there were steps leading down the
sidewalk into the little house..it was on the left side of the street. One day
she brought home this little "bundle of something" and it was making all kinds
of squeaky little sounds! I thought it was a puppy or something..then when
Mother brought me down another time to visit her, awhile later, I saw that
"little thing" in a little white bassinette and it was "screaming and red" all
over! I was amazed at how it screamed so loud and so often (all the time) it
seemed!
When Jean and Mother were in the kitchen drinking coffee..I "took a peek" at
this little thing and it was asleep..so I looked around and no one was there..so
I put my little hand in the bed and touched its leg! It was so skinny! Then I
remember looking to see if anyone saw me, and they weren't watching, so I
touched it again, and this time I put its little flesh between my forefinger and
thumb and "squeezed". Boy did it scream! It scared the life out of me, and when
Jean and Mother ran in to see what was wrong..I stood there innocently shrugging
my shoulders and shaking my head. They got it quieted down and went back to what
they were doing in the kitchen and I sneaked another peek at them..well, I did
it again! It was amazing to me how loud that little tiny thing could scream!
Honest guys, I didn't do it because I was being mean, I had been the "baby" for
four years and loved by all who knew me..*S*..and then this little thing came
home one day with my sister, my (second-mommy) and usurped me from my throne! So
you got to put yourself in my four year old minds place. "It" was my enemy! And
then to know that I could make it "scream" for no reason..well, that just "made
my day"! Any way they soon found out why all those "little red marks" were all
over the baby, one day when Jean caught me, and she blistered my "bee-hind" and
that was the beginning of "all out war" between me and that little red thing!
It took me a long time to get to like it, but I got used to her..and I
found out "it" had a name.."it" was called Terri and from the time a few
years later when I was Tarzan & she was Jane and we played silly games in the
basement together..til the time I saw her when she was 14 in California and I
was 18..well I have learned to love "that little thing" so very much and she is
ever so dear to my heart today! How I thank GOD that HE put her into my life!
Terri my darling niece, I love you with all my heart! *big S* and great big
{{{{HUGZ}}}} ~~(and I wouldn't dare pinch you now)~~ lol! Love you bunches &
loads & oodles & boodles! Your aunt (and if you ever call me that you're in
trouble)!
These were copied from my site at HIS INN so I could share them on this site too without re-writing them. hope you all enjoy all of it. GOD bless!
