A Curious Question
Osh and Ish Feast
Osh, Ish, and XL joined Jesus as He spoke with religious leaders. 'Why are they arguing, Mom?' Osh whispered, feeling confused. XL smiled gently and patted his head. 'Let's listen and find out,' she said softly.
1
The leaders questioned why Jesus' disciples didn't wash their hands before eating. 'Don't they know that's important?' Ish wondered aloud. Osh scratched his head, thinking hard. XL nodded, 'Let's see what Jesus says.'
2
Jesus replied that it's not what goes into the mouth that defiles, but what comes out of it. 'It's about what we say and do, not just washing up,' XL explained. Osh and Ish nodded, understanding a bit more. They listened closely to Jesus' words.

Later, a Canaanite woman approached, begging Jesus to heal her daughter. 'She's suffering so much,' Ish said, her heart aching for the woman. Osh felt sad too. They watched as the woman pleaded with Jesus.
4
Jesus initially seemed to ignore her, but the woman persisted. 'She really believes Jesus can help,' Osh noticed, impressed by her faith. Ish squeezed her brother's hand. They hoped Jesus would help her.
5
Jesus, testing her faith, said He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. The woman humbly replied even dogs eat crumbs from the master's table. 'She's so humble and kind,' Ish whispered. Osh nodded, feeling hopeful.
6
Impressed by her faith, Jesus granted her request. 'Even though she wasn't Jewish, Jesus helped her,' Osh observed, realizing compassion has no boundaries. Ish smiled, feeling happy for the woman. They saw the power of faith.
7
Later, a large crowd gathered, and Jesus healed their sick and suffering. 'So many people are hurting,' Ish whispered, overwhelmed by the sight. Osh watched in awe. Jesus' kindness touched everyone.
8
Jesus then miraculously fed over four thousand people with just a few loaves and fish. 'How can he feed so many with so little?' Osh gasped, his mouth wide open in amazement. Ish clapped her hands in delight. They saw a miracle unfold.
9
'It's a reminder that God can do anything, even the impossible,' XL said, her voice full of wonder. Osh and Ish nodded, feeling inspired. They felt the warmth of faith in their hearts. The day was full of miracles.
10
On their way back, they discussed how important it is to have faith and show kindness to everyone. 'It's not enough to just follow rules,' Osh said, recalling the Pharisees. Ish agreed, 'We need to be kind and loving.' XL smiled proudly at them.

Back home, Osh and Ish tried to be more compassionate and understanding, realizing it's what's in our hearts that truly matters. They helped each other and their friends. XL watched them with joy. Their hearts were full of love and kindness.
