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?" "Gr Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or may be 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!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every
morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the
universe, and He chose your heart.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as
well dance.
