Luke chapter 9 verses 13 through 17. But Jesus said to them,

you give them something to eat. They said, we have no more than five loaves and two fish,

just imagine being in their shoes. You get the spread and you start handing out and you go back

and you get more. You go back and get more and go back. I just think it looks on their faces
