God's Cake

I just received this e-mail and it fit so perfectly with my last blog, I wanted to print this e-mail.

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,” say hr 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 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 have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful.
Whenever you want to talk, He’ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

I HOPE YOUR DAY IS A PIECE OF CAKE!

I was just thinking about this fact today. That life would be so much easier to tolerate if we could see the whole picture. But how if we could that would alleviate the need for faith. I'll take the cake!
