The Bible doesn’t tell us his name, how old he is or where he came from, we don’t even know if he had a speaking part, we only know him as the little boy.
He was one of the key players in one of the greatest stories told in the Bible that displayed one of the many miracles of Jesus. He was the little boy with the sack lunch that Jesus used the feed 5000.
We don’t know what happened to the little boy, we don’t know what kind of man he grew up to be, we never hear about him again, yet thousands of years we are still talking about him. Today believe that you are significant
Today I will be generous
What if that little boy had refused to give up his lunch? Too bad so sad buddy, ain’t my fault none of y’all didn’t think to bring something to eat, I am keeping it for myself.
What if that little boy looked at his fish and loaves and thought no way! This ain’t gonna feed all these people so why bother giving it up, besides then what will I eat?
Today I will believe that I am significantToday I will be generous
Remember the little boy, whose name we don’t know, but we still talk about him, the little boy with the sack lunch of a fish and a few loaves of bread that fed five thousand.

Great encouragement Kandi! God uses all of us! We just have to be available and willing. Today, I will be.
ReplyDeleteKandi, I had never thought about this in this way before. "We don’t know what happened to the little boy, we don’t know what kind of man he grew up to be, we never hear about him again, yet thousands of years we are still talking about him." What we do today may seem so insignificant, but it could have lasting effects. Today I will believe I am significant. Today I will be generous. Great encouragement!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this encouragement Kandi! You just never know how your generosity or kindness will affect another. Thank you for reminding me that I am significant and that my actions mean something. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent point Kandi. We never know how God will choose to use us, or what kind of far-reaching impact it may have.
ReplyDeleteIn His eyes, we are all significant, we are all important, and we are all special...
We are all HIS!
Have a Blessed Day!
I think we all need reminders of this sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Kandi,
ReplyDeleteGreat post; I love this story. Every good thing we do is significant to someone; most especially in God's eyes. Our kindness and generosity has positive and lasting effects on those around us. Today IS a great day to be generous! :)
Blessings and hugs! :)

LOVE this post, Kandi. And what a great lesson for us to take away from this story. We have something offer...no matter how little we think it is!
