"They all ate and were satisfied." Mark 6:42
Are you ever in too much of a hurry to eat? Have you ever just had junk food instead? What happens a couple of hours later? You're hungry, right? You're not satisfied at all!
A crowd came to Jesus, and by the end of the day, they were hungry. There were only five loaves of bread and two fish, but Jesus turned it into enough to fill everyone up.
Today, we are hungry in different ways: for happiness, joy and peace. Sometimes we try to fill that hunger up with junk food---spending our time in ways that don't really satisfy us and might even hurt us.
The food Jesus offers us isn't like that. It fills us up with a happiness that lasts.
Jesus, I want the food that you give.
There ya are!

I've always liked that story and I think it's a very good message. Sometimes you're hungry for more than just food.
