OUR MEAGER GIFTS

OUR MEAGER GIFTS


God gives us all GIFTS
In this world=
Some of us MORE gifts
Than others


But what is GREAT
About our gifts=is GOD
MULTIPLES them
And makes them a lot more


Today for example
We have the MIRACLE
Of the loaves and
The fishes


“There is a BOY here
Who has five barley loaves
And two fish


But WHAT GOOD are these
For so many?” John 6:9


Our meager gifts=
ONE YOUNG BOY


Out of the multitude
Of Jesus' FOLLOWERS=
OFFERS his basket of bread
And fish


To HELP
Feed the hungry crowd
THE DISCIPLES are doubtful


But Jesus saw the FAITH
In this young boy=
And the crowd was there
NOT to eat=
But to be HEALED


ALL that were there
Needed SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT=
This MIRACLE is a foreshadowing
OF THE EUCHARIST


For when we receive
The Eucharist=
We take CHRIST out
Into the world


“........for God's GIFTS and
His call are irrevocable” Romans 11:29


“We have DIFFERENT GIFTS
According to the grace
Given to each of us” Romans 12:6


“Follow the way
Of love=
And eagerly desire
GIFTS of the Spirit=
Especially prophecy” 1 Corinthians 14:1


MORE often than not=
We don't feel like
OUR MEAGER GIFTS


Can make a DIFFERENCE
In this world


But WHEN we offer
Them to Jesus


He can MULTIPLY THEM
A 1,000 fold
And make a difference


Just like he did
With the loaves
And the fishes


All it takes is
A LITTLE FAITH
On our part=
Just like the LITTLE BOY had had


“Then he touched
Their eyes and said=
'According to your FAITH-
Let it be done to you'
And their sight was restored” Matthew 9:29


WHEN we offer
OUR MEAGER GIFTS
To Jesus=
He will MULTIPLY THEM


And inspire us
To nourish others
With the LOVE OF GOD


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our MIRACLE WORKING FATHER
