—Mark 8:6-10
by: Jo Anne Kandel.
The actions of the disciples are not explained in detail here, but I can imagine how they must have stared in disbelief and rolled their eyes in dismay as Jesus very calmly sits down with the crowd and (in a manner similar to the last supper) gives thanks, breaks the bread and distributes it. I have never seen bread and fish multiply before my eyes, but many times I have felt financially, spiritually or physically stretched beyond my limits and when I look to Jesus, he very calmly tells me to give thanks to God and it will work out. And every time, it has.
