Be Fed Journal
6 x 9 Custom Journal with Lined Pages from the CenterToAwakenKindness.com
A story of resilient creativity. Planning a party can take a lot of work - many details to consider including how to feed a large crowd. Jesus had gone to a deserted place for a little self-care. Five thousand men, besides women and children, followed to listen to his words and to be healed. As the hour got late Jesus’ disciples worried about where the crowd would find food to eat as there were only five loaves and two fish to eat. “Taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children” (Matthew 14:19-23).
Imagine being there that day, being healed, and eating – the impact that moment likely had on all who were there. When in life have you received the gift of food – physical food or spiritual food? How did that impact your life? How can you give thanks for all the blessings of food, physical and spiritual, and share it forward? Contemplate scripture. Walk the labyrinth. Pray for insights. Journal your discoveries and begin living a new tomorrow.
