Cake

A little boy is telling his Grandma how everything is going wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc.

Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which of, course, he does.

"Here, have some cooking oil." "Yuck" says the boy.

"How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, Grandma!"

"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those are all yucky!"

To which Grandma 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, yet He chose your heart.

Hope your day is a "piece of cake."

Prayer: Ever present Father, we know you are crazy about us.  Help us to be crazy about YOU!  Sustain us in difficult times and help us increase our trust in You and faith in You.  Amen
