A Timeless Truth

When our boys were little we listened to The Donut Man aka Rob Evans. Evans' theme song is based on the donut. It says:

"Life without Jesus is like a donut, like a donut, like a donut. Life without Jesus is like a donut, there's a hole in the middle of your heart."

This week, DS 2 was in a position to counsel a "nonChristian" friend who is in a bit of a crisis. When he and I talked about the trouble this young person is going through, I asked him about their faith. He said, "There is none there." I sang the refrain of this song and told him that's really what it all comes down to. He agreed and said, "I know Mom. I told _____ that all day today and it just didn't get through."

I was reminded that we have many many opportunities to plant seeds into the lives of others. I'm glad my son was willing to plant this week. I know there are other people in their group of friends who have also shared the same message. Now I pray that they get to see the seed take root and start growing.

I was also reminded that the most important lessons are often those we learn in our childhood. They are, after all, the rocks we lean on when we grow up.

{Note: If you have young children (or grandchildren) and have never heard this music or the videos, I highly recommend them.}
