Jesus Time- This week we hear about Jesus feeding a great crowd of people. Jesus had been teaching people as he walked around the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Now as it is getting close to meal time, they are all far from home or any town and they are starting to get hungry. When a disciple points this out to Jesus, he instructs him to feed the crowd. The disciple balks- "Me? Even if I had an entire years salary, it wouldn't be enough. Not to mention, there is no town nearby that would have enough food for this crowd." There seems to have been about 15,000 people in the crowd. One disciple takes Jesus seriously and sees what he can find. A young boy is willing to share his lunch which is 2 small fish and 5 small loaves of bread. Jesus instructs the people to sit down and he blesses the food. Then he begins to break of pieces and hand them out. The food stretches on and on. He tells the disciples to collect the leftovers once everyone has had their fill and there are 12 baskets left over! The crowd is amazed and wants to make Jesus their "Bread King", they'd never have to worry about food again. But Jesus did not come to be their "Bread King", he came to be their Savior! He disappears from their midst and they return home. How often we seek to make Jesus our bread king, praying for what we want, physical needs, when forgetting to thank him for blessings already received and the faith and trust we really need! And the forgiveness he so freely gives for our misguided priorities. Jesus is our Savior!

Books of the week- "The Three Little Pigs" illustrated by Eileen Grace and "Cinderella's Rat" by Sarah Meddaugh.

Our field trip for the month of March did not work out due to scheduling conflicts. I will try to get us a visitor before spring break!
