All four gospels record this event: Five thousand men plus some women and children eat together in the wilderness. At the close of the day Jesus' disciples believe there is not enough food for everyone there to eat and be satisfied. But Jesus leads his disciples. They bring what they have to him. He gives thanks for a few loaves of bread and two fish. Then he returns the bread and fish to the disciples to be distributed among the thousands. In the end everyone has enough to eat; and there is food enough left over to fill twelve baskets.
I want to do likewise. I want to bring what I have to Jesus. I want to wait and to receive whatever he chooses to return to me; and I want to share it with others. I believe there will be more than enough.
