Baking a 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 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, and He chose your heart.
