Title Page
Timothy Roberts and the Miracle of the Fish and Loaves

Page 1
One bright, sunny day, Timothy Roberts was sitting in his room in Titusville, Pennsylvania, looking at the pictures in his Bible around lunchtime.
"Look Randy," he said as he turned the pages. "Here is a picture of a little boy about my size. He is sharing his lunch with Jesus."

Timothy began to imagine what it must have been like near the Sea of Galilee and pictured himself there. In fact he could even sense a cool breeze blowing across the water, feel the soft, green grass swaying around him, and smell the sweetness of the beautiful flowers growing along the mountainside.

Randy, come here quickly!" Timothy yelled. "Look at all those people scattered across the mountainside. I wonder what they are doing?" Let's race to the top and see what's going on. Ready, get set, go!"
As Timothy reached the top first, he shouted, "Hurray, I won!"

After running so hard for such a long distance, Timothy was very tired. Randy suggested to him that they should sit down and rest for a little while in the plush, soft grass.
"I'm getting a little hungry," said Timothy. "Let's have a picnic right here under this shady olive tree."

Randy agreed that having a picnic in such a beautiful place would be a wonderful idea. Before they began eating, some people from the crowd approached them, noticing the food that Timothy had just spread out on a cloth.
One of the men spoke to Timothy, "We are very hungry and noticed that you have five loaves of barley and two fish. Will you share with us?"

Timothy remembered Randy telling him that it was polite to share, so he answered, "Yes, I will be happy to share my lunch with you, though I am afraid I only have these five loaves and two fish. Surely this is not enough to feed so many people."

The man, who was one of Jesus' disciples, replied that he would take it to Jesus.
Now Timothy was very curious to see how many people would be able to eat from such a small amount of food. He recalled Randy telling him about the many miracles Jesus had performed and thought something very exciting was about to happen.

When all the people were seated in groups of fifties and hundreds, Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish from the disciple. He looked up to heaven, blessed the food and gave thanks for it. He then gave the food to the disciples, who in turn passed the food to Timothy and all the other people.

All five thousand men, women, and children ate and ate until they could hold no more. When everyone had feasted, Jesus commanded the disciples to collect any food that had not been eaten. Robert began to count.
"Wow! There are still twelve baskets full of food. I was right; something very exciting did happen!" exclaimed Timothy.

About this time Timothy heard a noise. He realized that it was his stomach reminding him how hungry he really was.
"We really had fun picturing the story of Jesus feeding five thousand people with five loaves and two fish, didn't we Randy? This is one story I will never forget!"
