food or not didn't matter if he had packed his lunch or not his father was with him and everything was going to be okay he's my example he's the author and finisher of my faith not the boy with five loaves and two fish who planned

that's what son of my heart and I titled it sonship faith and worship let's pray before we begin Heavenly Father we come to your presence and thankful that we can call you daddy that when we come to your table Lord night we picture I
