satiated

Friday July 31^st, John 6:  10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. Part of the miracle that day was Christ blessing the provisions that were provided, the thankful blessing for what has been given.  All we have, everything, is a gift from God for which we should forever be thankful.   Additionally, part of the blessing we receive is the ability to share with one another, for what we are about to receive and the ability to share from this bounty, we thank you O Lord.  If we focus only on the receiving, we still remain famished; our bellies full maybe, but famished none the less.  When we look at everything we have as a blessing from God and receive it in true thankfulness for the gift, for that is what it is, and in that thankfulness, share, we find that we are not only full, but satiated.  A generous heart is the gift of putting your faith in God.
