That Little Boy

That little boy,
His mother gave him five loaves of bread and two fishes,
To have as lunch on his day out with Jesus.
But the crowd was hungry, hungry,
And the disciples were looking for what they might feed them with.
Then they found this little boy, who was willing to give his lunchbox.

"But what can five loaves of bread and two fishes do,
Among a crowd of five thousand men,
Excluding women and children?"
They asked Jesus.

But instead He directed them to have the people sit down,
In groups on the green grass,
Took the little boy's lunchbox and blessed it.
Then He gave it to the disciples to share.
Everyone in the crowd ate and there were twelve basketfuls of leftovers.
All these happened because of five loaves and two fishes which a little boy happily brought to Jesus.

What do you have that you think is too small to give to the Master?
Never mind, when you give it to Him, He will bless it and increase it,
And not only you will be blessed but a whole multitude of others.

Oh that we will stop giving excuses and give that little we have.
Oh that we our lives are willing for Him to use as He pleases.
Oh that in our poverty, we still give to Him.
Oh that in days of trouble we give Him that little praise.
Never forget that little boy’s lunch that did wonder to multitudes.
