God's story and my life
Understanding the story affects our daily lives by showing us the we have a
purpose in life. It shows us how we were created and how we fit into God's big
picture. Also, understanding the story helps us determine who we glorify for the
many good things we have. We should glorify him in the good times and the bad
because he actually took the time to create us all. It is like reading a new
book. You want to know how each character fits into the story. You also want to
know why they are in the story. Knowing the purpose in your life really makes a
difference.

One of the many miracles of Jesus
One day Jesus noticed a hug crowd of people coming toward him. He counted and there were 5,000. He saw that they needed food so he told one of his disciples, Phillip, to get bread for them. Phillip told Jesus that he did not have enough money to buy bread so that every person could get a small piece. He found a boy with 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. Jesus asked the boy to let him share it with the people and he let him. Jesus blessed the bread and fish and shared them with the people. They ended up having 12 baskets of leftovers to spare. The people saw what he did and said that he really was the Prophet to come into the world and save them. This passage shows the many miracles that Jesus did. He does a lot more in the other Gospels. It shows that he cared enough about the people to even do anything like this for them. It also shows God has the power to do anything. When Jesus asked God to bless the food, it kept appearing to be more and more bread and fish in the basket. God's power is so amazing!!! :D
