Surprised?




Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.  1 Peter 4:12-13

God's Cake



A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong in her life.
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."

"Well then, here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck !" says her daughter.
"How about a couple of 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 all 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 some 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!

Jesus Loves Me



Jesus loves me! This I know, For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong; They are weak, but He is strong.

Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! This I know, As He loved so long ago, Taking children on His knee, Saying, “Let them come to Me.”

Jesus loves me still today, Walking with me on my way, Wanting as a friend to give Light and love to all who live.

Jesus loves me! He who died Heaven’s gate to open wide; He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.

Jesus loves me! He will stay Close beside me all the way; Thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live for Thee.

- Anna B. Warner

 
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  John 14:23

My Garden of Prayer


My garden beautifies my yard
And adds fragrance to the air.

But it is also my cathedral
and my quiet place of prayer.

So little do we realize
that “The Glory and The Power”

Of He who made the universe
lies hidden in a flower.

Chicken or Egg

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?


Answer:
 The Chicken.

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.  And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.  Genesis 1:20-22
