A little boy was telling Grandma how "everything" was going wrong -
school, family problems, severe health problems, etc.
Meanwhile, Grandma was baking a cake. She asked her grandson if he
would like a snack, which of course he did.
"Here, have some cooking oil."
"Yuck" said 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 the 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 good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually,
they will all make something wonderful!"
