School, family problems, health problems, etc. Meanwhile,
Grandma is
baking a cake. She asks the child if he would like a snack,
which of
course he does.
"Here. Have some cooking oil."
To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by
themselves.
But when they are put together in the right way, they made 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!"
A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going
wrong.
"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!"
