PIECE OF CAKE


This is something I got from the email a long time ago and although I try hard to refrain posting things here from the email cause I've got another site for that purpose anyway, I had a very bad experience yesterday that I needed to make sense of. So this is not so much as something I'd like to tell you guys but something I'd like to tell myself. I'd rather post this than relate the bad experience cause I find that there's more sagacity in posting this than about yesterday's dreadful episode.

One thing I'd say about it though, people really are as diverse as they come. We just have to learn to see beyond their facade to help ourselves believe undeterred on the inherent goodness in mankind. Otherwise, hate would get the better of each and everyone, hands down.

Anyway, here it goes...

A girl is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing math, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.

"Yuck" says her daughter.

"How about a couple raw eggs?"

"Gross, Mom!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"

"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!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

I hope your day is a "piece of cake!" Happy weekend my little ones. :)
