Where Did This Come From?
Story★★★★At supper one night, seven-year-old Brad asked why his dad thanked God before eating food that had come from the grocery store. The father picked up a roll and asked, “Where did this come from?” “From the store,” Brad said. “Where did they get it?” “I dunno. From the bakery?” “Where did they get it?” “They made it.” “From what?” asked the father. “From flour.” “Where did that come from?” “From wheat.” “Where did the wheat come from?” ‘’The farmers.” “And where did the farmer get it?” “He grew it,” said Brad. “From what?” “Seed.” “And who made the seed?” “God, I guess,” said Brad. “And that,” said the father, “is why we thank Him.”
