Baking a Cake - author unknown

A very ill little boy was telling his Grandma how "everything" was going wrong...school was too hard, family problems other than his illness, his severe pain, just all the hardships he was going through. Meanwhile, Grandma was baking a cake. She asked the child if he would like a snack, which of course he does. "Here. Have some cooking oil.""Yuck," said the boy. "How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, Grandma.""Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those are all yucky!" To which the Grandma replied: "Yes, Sweetheart, those things seem bad all by themselves. But, when they are put together inthe right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! Eventually, the yucky stuff will make of our lives something wonderful!"

God, I hope so.......
