So Much With So Little

I am a lucky man I have four children. Many that see my family out and about seem intrigued by such a large family. Some may feel disgusted or angry and others just don't understand, but for me with each child I see an opportunity to put more love and compassion in the world. By loving my children I foster more love into the world for as I love them so do they. God being the supreme father loves all as a good father loves a child. While he may have rules they are out of compassion. God has a great knack for doing much with so little. Through a young boy God saved a nation from starving. Through a man that could not speak well God delivered a nation out of slavery. Through another young Shepard God raised a people to a mighty nation. God as Jesus the son fed masses on so little and fostered even much more love in the world. You do not need to be a person of great strength, wealth or power to help God bring a little heaven to this earth. When creating a relationship with God you bind yourself to someone that sees the very best in you. With Gods help you can achieve great things, but you have to rely on him. He needs to be your center, your foundation. For what athlete excelled to his greatest by having a distant, nearly nonexistent relationship with their coach? What child grows safe, full of love and emitting love without a close relationship with a parent? God wants to be that for you and so much more for you, and you just need to be you.

Mark 6:34-44

34As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late; 36send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat." 37But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?" 38And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish." 39Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. 42And they all ate and were satisfied. 43And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
