Heavenly Dining- Abundant Meal.

When Jesus prepares a meal, a little is more than enough. Even when feeding more than 5,000 people with only, "five loaves of bread and two fish" Luke 9:13 (NIV), there were more than 12 baskets of leftovers. When we look heavenward for nourishment, we are always filled.
