God's Cake

Hello Everybody,

As usual, I was skimming through my emails, deciding which ones were worth me reading and which ones I should just delete. For the most part I can say I delete many 100's of Forwards everyday, but for some reason, I decided I would open this one. It was an email (forward) from my Mom, simply entitled, "God's Cake". I have posted the story below. It kind of helps put things in perspective for us. Sometimes things might not always go our way, but like I have said before, and will keep saying, there is a meaning and a purpose to everything in life. No matter what the gunk maybe, sometimes it takes all that gunk for us to get the big picture, or what I like to call the final result. Most of the time, that gunk leads us straight to what we needed to find in the first place. Life may not always be easy, or carved out in stone for us, but if it takes all that gunk to get me where God wants me, then I say bring it on.

God's Cake
This is about the best thing I've ever read as an explanation. We all
wonder many many many times over WHY?




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, 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.
