Kyle and Kelly listened to the story their grandfather told and wondered how Jesus did that miracle. Even Grandmother, who made two small fish feed four people couldn’t have stretched the food to feed five thousand! The Holy Bible doesn’t tell us how Jesus fed so many people, but it helps us to remember that Jesus is the son of God. He can do many things that ordinary people can’t do.

We see God's generosity everywhere in nature. How many fish do you think are in the oceans and how many stars in the sky? Have you ever tried to count all the seeds from one dandelion plant? There are many! This is an example of God's generosity. The same is true for flowers and vegetable plants. They don't produce just one seed, but more than is necessary, more than enough.
Every day let's enjoy the abundance of God's creation and remember that each one of us has an abundant supply of God's love.
This story always reminds me that when it comes to God's love there's enough for everyone - even when loving everyone seems like an awfully big job. God loves us all. Don't forget it.
Jesus is breaking the rules. He is talking with her. He asks her for a drink of water. If you were that woman, and Jesus started talking to you, what would you say to him? [Thank the children for their answers]. She says that people like him don’t speak to people like her. She doesn’t understand why he is talking to her. That’s when Jesus says something very strange to her and she doesn’t get it––she doesn’t understand at all.
Albert Schweitzer is a good example of a man who dedicated his life to planting seeds of God's love. He was a minister, a musician, a doctor, and an author, but mostly he is known for building a hospital in Africa where he spent many years of his life as a medical missionary.
When we say something that is helpful to another person or do something that is kind, it is a way of planting a seed of God's love. We may not know the result, but we can be sure that when we work with God's love there will be a good result. P.S. Give your teacher an apple!
Wouldn’t it be great if we never got thirsty? What if there was special water that we could drink once and it would took care of us forever? Well in this week’s Gospel story, Jesus is taking a long walk – and guess what happens? He gets thirsty. So he stops by a well and asks a woman there if she will help him get a drink. And while they’re talking he tells her about how God’s love is sort of like water.
