A Piece of Cake

A young man is telling his Grandma how everything

is going wrong. School problems, friend problems,

family problems, financial 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 young man.

" 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 world, and

He chose your heart. "

Hope your day is a " piece of cake! "

May God continue to provide each of us with a measure of

STRENGTH, WISDOM and PEACE.
