Bread and fish
made the shopping list–
easily secured
at the corner grocery store,
exchanged for coins
in my pocketbook.
But what of the bread and fish
the Saviour has~~
a small amount,
yet multiplied miracles
at his hand,
sending the food away
to the multitudes?
No coins exchanged,
no energy consumed
in the getting,
no requirements to meet
other than,
“We are hungry, Lord.”
Keep me hungry, Lord,
for real food.

Now that I'm retired from 25 years of elementary teaching, I am able to spend time in my happy place--at my desk where I read and write as often as I can.
When I'm not at my desk, you can find me in my other happy place--the garden, watering, weeding and worshipping. My husband and I live near Seattle and close enough to my two grown children and grandchildren that I'm able to hug them often. That is my greatest joy.

A worthy prayer! I love the “no requirements” of grace…so good. Wonderful words.
yes, let it be so… a modern day psalm ?
Mother Teresa said something like that the hunger for love is more than the hunger for food.
and let us use that hunger as well to feed others and not just ourselves….
