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. If you like, . I hope your day is a
"piece of cake!"

Wonderful message. God is our savior, and we have to leave him be and handle it the way he thinks is best. That is the hardest part of being a human. Thansk for the piece of cake. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
