Loaves and Fish

I witnessed a true miracle last night. It was at our annual benefit banquet. That's our event that we use to raise money to keep our school running. Right now, our school is struggling to make some ends meet, so last night was extremely important. We have a silent auction, a speaker, a dinner, and a live auction. One of our seniors (Alvin), bought some seed corn that was on the live auction (remember, we're in Nebraska. Alvin has had to be the head of the household since his dad died when Alvin was in Jr. High. He took over his dad's farm, so he's had to grow up a lot.) So when he bought the corn, the auctioneer would make sure that everybody knew that it was one of our kids. Alvin actually put up 100 bushels of his own seed corn for live auction. It was bought, sold again, bought, sold again, and again, and again. His corn was sold 16 times for a total of $7,900!!! It was truly a miracle that people were moved to do such a wonderful thing. So remember, if you don't think you have much to give, or can't make an impact, God can make it into something AMAZING!!!
