Loaves and fishes

Today's sermon was about the loaves and the fishes, about being fed and feeding others. I guess I'm in a pretty selfish stage right now, mostly receiving, seeking nourishment in the form of getting established in my new job, new place to live, a new church of a faith of which I'm not even really formally a member, trying to keep and make friends, figure out how to live here in Chandler. I try to think of ways that I've spiritually fed anyone else lately, and I'm not thinking of many. Which I guess is the point of a sermon (should I call them "homilies"?) to remind to reach beyond.

Shepherd me oh Lord,
beyond my wants, beyond my needs,
from death into life.
