Feeding the five thousand

Mark
The story about the feeding of the five thousand is a a wonderful retelling of one of Jesus's many miracles.  As I read it today, I thought about how the disciples must have been surprised to see the bread and fish just keep being dished out to the crowd.
Then I read William Barclay's commentary on this passage (Mark 6:30-44) and realized that this is the only story that is retold in all four gospels.  This particular miracle certainly did have a great impact on the lives of the twelve disciples since the four gospel writers found it necessary to include it in their books.
If this story is so important, what can we learn from it?  Barclay suggests an answer to this question.  Jesus so easily took the little food that was available and turned it into an abundance.  In the same way, he can take what little you have to offer him and do great things with it.  If you give him your life, imagine what amazing things he could accomplish, especially if he was able to take five loaves and two fish and and feed more than five thousand people.  I think that if you let him, he'll be able to do more than you could ever imagine with your life.
