Contemporary parable

In God's Hands is a fable about how God meets the needs of people in unexpected ways. The story is based in a Temple, which connects families who have very different socio-economic status in the community. A man prays for help feeding his family, and God answers the prayers through another man who has plenty to share. Neither man comes into contact with the other until the Rabbi catches on to what is happening and introduces the two men to each other. A great story for children of all ages!

Beautiful story...

This was a beautiful story showing how great it is to give and that we all have a little of God's hands in our own. It inspired my son and I to bake loaves of bread for everyone we know!
