Subject: 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 is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's
failing algebra, 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, a! ll 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 kn ows 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.
If you like this, send this on to the people you really care about. I
did.
I hope your day is a "piece of cake!"
