Absorbing God Word
“Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:16
Applying God’s Word
As a young boy, I tried not to get too excited about Christmas. My dad was a painting contractor and Christmas came during a season when work was minimal. That meant we may not get the one gift we wished for at Christmas or that Christmas dinner might not meet our expectations.
This Christmas wont’ be very merry for the many folks struggling to find ways to feed their families, so God prompted Louise, me, and a dozen other volunteers to do a Christmas food drive.
The people in our community brought loads of food as well as monetary donations, which allowed us to provide over 20,000 meals for families throughout the county. Our contributions were then graciously matched by an unknown donor that then doubled the total being donated to the Contra Costa Food Bank.
“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.” Mother Teresa
Accounting of God’s Word
Who is God asking me to feed this Christmas?
