Donuts Anyone??

We are going into our 5th week of class and having a blast. Every week we have different parents bring breakfast and here are some pictures of the kids loving some donuts...

Here's George about to enjoy his second donut of the morning... After class the kids decided to go back for seconds and thirds....

Aren't donuts the best? Donuts may not be the most nutritious food on the market but they sure taste good early in the morning when you have to be in class for over an hour. The sugar from the donuts gets these young bodies good and ready for the Word of God; that is really why we do what we do.

Kids these days can practically go anywhere to eat donuts, but we want to make sure they are "filling up" their hearts, minds, and souls with the love of Jesus Christ. Jesus has to be our number one source in life. Which reminds me of a story in the Bible (John 4:7-15) where Jesus is sitting at a drinking well with a Samaritian women and they begin to have a conversation, let's read the story together...

A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?" (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)

The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, "How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (Jews in those days wouldn't be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)

Jesus answered, "If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water."

The woman said, "Sir, you don't even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this 'living water'? Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?"

Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."

The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so I won't ever get thirsty, won't ever have to come back to this well again!"

Blue Sushi it's time that we stop wasting our energy trying to draw water from the wells of this world that leave us thristy. Let's commit to filling up our lives on Jesus Christ and ALL He has for us!

Live bold & stay strong!
