Surprised?

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.
