FOOD FOR THOUGHT....
Sometimes, we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this" or "Why did God have to do this to me?"
Well, here is an explanation.
A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong.
She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Her mother, meanwhile, is baking a cake.
She asks her daughter if she would like a snack.
Her daughter says, "Absolutely Mom! I love your cake!"
"Here, have some cooking oil," her mother offers.
"Yuck" says the daughter.
"How about a couple of raw eggs?"
"Gross Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe some baking soda? Or cocoa?"
"Mom!!! Those are all yucky!" to which the mother replies:
"Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves.
But when they are put together, in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way.
Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times.
But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good.
We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful."
Her mother continued:
"God is crazy about you.
He sends you flowers every spring and sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He will listen.
He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart."
I hope your day is a "piece of cake."
