A little detail that often gets overlooked in the story of the feeding of the 5,000 is that, however he achieves the "miracle" (quite a few people say that perhaps the sharing was the miracle) Jesus needs the little boy with the five loaves and the two fish.

It's not much use praying for something - God do this, make this happen, stop this happening - unless we're prepared to do something, however small, about it. To me the miraculous aspect is that when you do get round to doing your part, you find everybody else is doing theirs.

Miracles, to me, are commonplace. Often very small. You just have to appreciate that they are miracles.
