Coffee and Donuts!

The small building was on the main street and had been abandoned for years. One day as I passed by I noticed an old man painting the building. Days later it had windows, a door and a sign that said, “Donut Shop“. On my next trip to that town I decided to stop in and see what was going on. There wasn’t anyone inside but the old man, a few bakery goods and hot coffee. I ordered a donuts and coffee and as I was drinking my coffee the old man came over and sat down at my table. He told that he was retired but it had been his dream ever since he was a little boy to make bakery goods. He said, “I like getting the flour on my hands and mixing the dough”. He also said that he liked making pastry goods that people enjoyed. That donut shop reminds me of something about God. God loves us very much and He wants to give us many good things, (Psalm 103:5, Deuteronomy 6:10&11). God has made those things available to us but we must be willing to go to Him to get them, (James 4:8, Hebrews 4:16). We can only begin to receive those wonderful blessings God has for us, (John 3:16, Hebrews 7:25). When we confess our sins and call upon Jesus Christ to be our personal Lord and Savior, (Hebrews 10:19-22). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J
