My Summer time Bible Readings with 11 year old Jessica.
You've heard this story before, right? Do you like it?
J - Yes, we made a craft out of it once at Sunday School.
Pretty cool eh?
J - Yeah, 12 baskets of leftovers. How big is a loaf anyway?
Loaves can be different sizes, but remember who had it?
J - It says a boy.
Right, could a boy carry 5 big loaves?
J - Probably not
That what I think, I think that means they were kind of small loaves.
J - Kinda like the ones that come in the bags, sliced up.
Probably, but he didn't have bags.
J - They weren't invented yet.
Nope.
This is one of my favorite stories. I always want to hear more of the story. I mean, they're in the boat, the sea is rough, it's a storm, they're rowing, and rowing and rowing and then there's this guy on the lake! So they're freaked out and then Jesus says, "Hey, it's me" and they say, "Oh, OK then." Huh? I think there has to be more to the story.
J - Yeah, I think he would have calmed the storm.
But it doesn't say that he did. So that means, he was walking on the rough water & the waves.
J - Wow, he could walk up the side of the wave.
Maybe it was just clam in a circle around where he was.
J -Uh, Okay.
That would be weird too wouldn't it. I really wonder what it was like to see.
Cool.
