Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Two donuts, salt, plates
Preparation: Have one of the donuts filled with salt all over the bottom, or even better baked into the donut!
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Just because something looks good, doesn't always mean it is the best choice.
Illustration: Show the kids both donuts and ask them who wants one. Of course the kids will all say they do. Then explain that one of these donuts is not like the other. In fact one of these donuts you wouldn’t want to eat, because even though you can’t really see it, one of these has been completely covered in salt. So one of these would taste great, while the other would taste horrible! Explain that in life we always have choices to make, and sometimes the choices seem like they are both good, but in reality it could be hiding some bad consequences. That is why it is so important to trust God with our lives and involve him in the big decisions we make.
