Five Loaves and Two Fish
From an interview with Lucy Stevenson Ewell.
One of my favorite stories is in the New Testament. More than five thousand people listened to the Savior teach all day. They started to get hungry.
One of the disciples said, “There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?” (John 6:9).
Jesus asked them to bring the food to Him, and He prayed. Then a miracle happened. There was enough to feed everyone. And there were 12 baskets of bread left over!
I want you to remember who brought the loaves and fish. It was a young boy! He gave all he had to the Savior.
Children are so important to Heavenly Father. When you follow Jesus Christ by serving others, He will bless you.
You Can Give Too!
Draw a picture of a way you can serve others.
