I love eating at buffets

I love a good buffet.

As a kid, our parents used buffet's as a way to please everyone.

I would imagine this was very smart with four kids.

Rather than asking what we feel like, just take us to Ryan's and let us get whatever we want.

It made sense, a lot of trips we also ate at buffets for the same reason.

Buffet's are good, except the fact that I always overeat at them.

I almost feel it's my obligation get my money's worth when it comes to buffet's.

I would go home completely stuffed with an ice cream cone in my hand.

I still enjoy the buffet, but I am actually trying to watch what I eat, the buffet is not the best place for that.

There is something magical about a place where you pay one price and get whatever you want.

Agree or Disagree?

Jesus was going through a rough time, one of his best friends just died.

He tried to withdraw but the crowds followed him.

No matter what was going on with him, he spent time with the crowds.

After a while the disciples noticed it was getting late and the people needed to eat.

They asked Jesus if they could go into the city.

Jesus replied in Matthew 14:16…

"They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

They only had two fish and five loaves of bread.

Yet Jesus blessed it and gave it out.

He kept giving and giving and giving.

There were 12 basketfuls of leftovers after everyone was completely full.

The people Jesus spoke to wasn't a handful.

They counted and found out there were 5,000 men. When you include women and children the number could have gotten to 15,000-20,000.

Jesus just fed the Breslin Center or more then the Hulman Center with two fish and five loafs of bread.

Jesus provided a buffet.

This is one of my favorite miracles because 1. It's about food. 2. It shows how much Jesus can provide for us.

Jesus provides for the people, he did then and he does today.

But just like we get a choice to eat what we want at a buffet.

Jesus gives us the choice to belief in him or not and personally follow him with our lives.

Part of this world is the fact we are give free will.

Free will to do or belief or get whatever we want.

We have a buffet in front of us.

What are you going to take from it?

Have a great day.
