GOD'S CAKE
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter was telling her Mother how everything was going wrong; she was failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend was moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother was baking a cake and asked her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter replied, "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 together all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, all these ingredients of life will 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 listens. He can live anywhere in the universe yet He chose your heart in which to make his home.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."
May each of your days be "a piece of cake!"
