Hello???

Anyone out there?

I think I have been talking to myself on here a lot lately.


Here is something to think about for today. A friend sent it to me in email:

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!

Love this description & it makes so much sense! Do you mind if I use this some time?
I feel like I'm doing this blog "alone" sometimes too. But then people tell me that they saw something on my blog & I didn't even know they read it! I enjoy sharing, even if my readers are few.... And I appreciate the comments you make!

That was so true and worded just right .God is so wounderful , I wish we didn't take everything for granted. We are blessed everyday.
Love! Love!
