A Few Fragments

So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. Mark 8:8

Halloween is over for another year, except for a few fragments lying about here and there. Yes, Halloween candy, the gift that hangs around the waist. How different were the fragments our Lord had collected after the multitude was filled! Seven large baskets of leftover fragments, enough to feed several more for a time. Where did these leftovers go? The scriptures do not say. 

When the scripture does not say, then it is something we do not need to worry over. Such questions may also indicate that we are missing the main point. He fed four thousand people in this story from Mark's gospel. Would we miss that for worrying over the disposition of a few leftover baskets? 

Praise the Lord on this great day!
