Not enough

There is not enough here to feed so many,

turn them away, send them home.

Be realistic, don't hope for more

it is impossible.

Jesus listens to none of it.

We listen all to readily,

even though we know the story.

Faith demands us to listen,

To believe, to trust, to hope

Broken, we all have to be broken,

Just as Jesus breaks the bread and blesses it.

Transforming it from one loaf

Into bread to feed 5000.

We are broken transformed

From being doubters into trusters

keepers of the faith, believers in the

unthinkable. Without being broken

we only see the limitations that confine us.

Broken we see the transformation

of a limited, finite being into God's vast

possibilities because in being broken open

we are blessed for others and we are

never quite the same.
