Where donuts come from

Apr 23rd, 2007 by Accidental Thinker

Noah (out of the blue, as we are pulling out of the McDonald’s drive-thru): I like McDonald’s. They don’t have McDonald’s at church.

Me (in mock surprise, and curious to know why he made the random connection between McDonald’s and church): They don’t??? Well, what do they have at church?

Noah: Donuts.

Me (with a sinking feeling that I know exactly where this is heading): Noah, do you know why we go to church?

Noah (brightly): To get donuts!

I knew it. Silly boy! I think it’s time to cut him off from the donut cart.

Although the donuts are NOT a reason to go to church… it sure doesn’t hurt! ~ jb///

I didn’t realize you attended our church. I’ll look for you next Sunday.

Sometimes the little ones just don’t get it. He will! They are so funny.

Just another reason I love kids.

That’s a great story. Kids can be so forthright and honest.

No donuts at my church. They have a breakfast once a month though. I miss the socialization after church over a donut and coffee. It’s not a bad thing! He’ll get the real reason as he gets older, in the mean time, let him enjoy!

I’m sure when Jesus had the little children gathered around Him he heard similar remarks like this and smiled just as we do. Thanks for sharing this cute story, Monique.

Fellowship coffee is affectionately called “Donut Church” by children and adults alike at our church.
