Today we are going to talk about sharing. Did your mom or dad ever ask you to share? Share a room? Share toys? Share clothes? Share a seat? Does anyone ever share lunch in school? Sometimes we forget our lunch and a friend shares and keeps us from being hungry. is a story about a bunch of people who come to listen to Jesus teach. They followed him all day, and they were hungry but there is was place to get food, no McDonald’s, no supermarket. But Jesus had a plan. He know there was a little boy who was willing to share his lunch. Now that would be great if there were only a few people but there thousands of people. Do you know how many that is? Who can count to 100? Can you imagine counting to 100 over 50 times? Wow! Jesus took the boy’s lunch of some fish and bread and blessed it. Then his disciples handed it out to all the people. Then, guess what happened? Everyone got fed from this lunch of fish and bread. There was more than enough for everyone to eat. When they were done there were even leftovers. This all started because this child was willing to share his lunch. It was a miracle! Today we are going to talk about how we can share what we have and be a part of a miracle too. We can help by sharing what we have with others. The people of this church will share some of their money to help. The money will help build homes and hospitals and schools. It will help people in Africa, and in Puerto Rico, people in different states and in New Jersey. Even people here where we live. Now that might mean that we are being asked to share, too. We might need to skip going to a restaurant one night, or buying a toy. There might be other ways we can share, too. You can talk about this as a family. We can start by praying. Come with me and let’s pray together for all the people who need a miracle. Dear Jesus, thank you for all those who have shared with us. Help us to see ways that we can share to show love to others. Amen.
