2nd Kings 4:1-7: A widow is being hounded by her creditors. She has a little oil. Elisha says to her and her children, gather all your empty vessels and start pouring. The oil lasted until all the vessels were filled. Then she sold some oil to pay off her creditors and lived off the rest.
Luke 9:10-17: Jesus feeds the 5000 and 12 baskets are leftover.
These passages are reminiscent of church potlucks where there always seems to be enough food, no matter who shows up.
