Life Is Like A Homemade Cake
(Author Unkown)
A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong: school, family problems, and severe health problems in the family. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which of course he does.
"Here, have some cooking oil," she says. "Yuck" says the boy.
"Then how about a couple raw eggs?"
"Gross, Grandma!" he replies.
"Would you prefer some flour then? Or maybe some baking soda?" she asks.
"Grandma, those are all yucky!" he replied.
To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem to taste bad all by themselves. But when they are mixed together in the right amounts and the right manner, they make a delicious cake!"
So many times we wonder why we have to go through bad and difficult moments. We always say “why me”? “what did I do to deserve this”? The reality is that all things put on our plate are for the better, to enhance our way of living, to teach us what we need to know and where we shall go. How many times have you looked back and realised that it wasn't so bad. When we going through a difficult time we only looking at the cooking oil or the raw eggs but once time has passed and healed the heart we see the cake the delicious life which we have created for ourselves. So the next time things get tough remember its just one small ingredient for a fulfilled life.
May you have an awesome week!
