Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 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 g o 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.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 This is so true. Several years ago I studied Jyotish a bit, and if there's one thing I learned, it's that things are not all good or all bad. There's bad mixed in with the good and visa versa. Looking back on my life some of the bad times turned out to be for the best because they caused change, Remember the awful earthquake in Gujarat? I'll never forget the old man who lost his home and many of his family members. He said "It's God's will" I remember being so blown away by that. Such surrender. The "Poor me" in me was going coo coo, at the same time I was in awe. The second to the last paragraph of the story below brought tears to my eyes - I never thought about it quite that way before.
