Plastic Donuts: Giving That Delights the Heart of the Father

by Jeff Anderson

Anderson was working at his desk one day when his toddler daughter handed him a plastic donut from her toy kitchen. His own emotional reaction to that tiny gift surprised him.

That moment sent him digging into Scripture for years to understand the connection between our gifts and God’s heart.

• The “plastic donut” as a metaphor for small, heartfelt gifts
• Removing guilt and awkwardness from conversations about giving
• Biblical stories where simple gifts moved God’s heart
• Determining the amount and way you give from a place of joy

Your gifts can capture God’s attention and connect you more intimately with his heart.
