The answer is… “five loaves and two fish.”
A week ago, my family and I visited St. John beach on our sabbath day. It was a beautiful, sunny, and peaceful day. For a little while, I walked along the seashore in silence and solitude. As I looked at the stones around me, I suddenly thought they looked like “loaves.” I carefully picked five rounded stones and two larger ones.
These days, I feel like what I have—and even who I am, including my family (five children and two parents)—is like five loaves and two fish. Nothing fancy, just simple and small. But that’s what I have. That’s who I am. On the seashore that day, I wrote a prayer-poem, and I’d love to share it with you:

It’s amazing how the Spirit works. That same week, Joyce shared her first message on the five loaves and two fish at Stetson Memorial UMC. You can read her sermon here: Joyce’s Message
