Thirst and Hunger

As we do thirst and hunger,
our Father more than meets our needs
just like the little sparrows
and others that he feeds
We know His richest blessings--
we receive them day by day.
His gifts are overflowing,
for that is our Father's way.
Just like the multitudes of people
He fed with fish and bread,
our bodies and our spirits
are always richly fed;
with baskets overflowing,
we receive more than we need,
so that by the grace of God
others we can feed.

Let us give thanks to the Lord and praise His name for meeting our needs and "overflowing extra baskets." Let us remember our responsibility for sharing that which God has given us, physically and spiritually.

"And when they were filled, He said to His disciples, 'Gather up the leftover fragments that nothing may be lost.'" John 6:12
