Grandma and the Cake
A little
boy is telling his Grandma how "everything"
is going
wrong.
School, family
problems, 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 our good!
We just have
to trust Him and, eventually,
they will
all make something wonderful!"
