Thou Shall Not Waste

In John chapter 6, we read about Jesus multiplying the five loaves and two fish to feed thousands. There is a powerful message in this chapter. In verse 12, Jesus commands his disciples to gather the left over pieces of loaves. In fact, Jesus is teaching us a lesson not to waste food.

Estimates indicate that someone  dies of hunger approximately every 10 seconds. Each year millions of children starve to death.  If someone has three meals a day, it is considered a luxury for millions in this world.

When parents throw excess food,  they are throwing away precious hard-earned money. Think about the millions of children who cannot eat one meal a day. That food that gets thrown away would be considered delicacies to those hungry people.

When you dine at a restaurant, order just enough and if there happens to be any leftover food, parcel it and take the food home. There is nothing to feel shy about, I am sure the disciples would have felt shy while picking up the leftover food.
