For our special All Age Harvest Service, Teeny and Jemma bring us a message about Thanksgiving based on the story of the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14. Teeny and Jemma examine Jesus’ attitude to need to feed so many people, and share lessons for us all. Rather than focus on the lack, Jesus thanked (praised and blessed) God before the miracle happened, trusting that the Father would provide. Secondly, an attitude of gratitude is not only something the bible has been telling us to have. It is actually good for us; being thankful reduces stress and anxiety, and it releases God’s kingdom activity. As we do these two things, God will meet our needs. Just has he provided all the food the five thousand needed, with plenty left over; so He will meet our needs, provide the things we need to flourish and grow.
