Icon95 God works like cake!

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 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.

If you like this, send this on to the people you really care about. I did.

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

Believe.......The Best is Yet to Come

So God was just making a really really big cake in Europe in the 1940s when millions of people died? Well, that's ok, then. Everyone likes cake.

So God makes an awful mess in the kitchen, may burn in the oven, and needs a straw stuck in his middle to find out if he's done baking?

I'm more disturbed by covering my god in frosting.

God as a cake?

What a crummy analogy.

I'm disturbed by the fact that I need to take a dump right after I eat too much cake

I'm disturbed by the image of someone taking a large knife and slicing God into pieces.

I believe the analogy is your life is like a cake, and god is the baker. Of course, this makes the Jewish/Nazi/ovens thing worse, but at least no one has to worry about eating god.
But wait, isn't that communion?

I keep trying to convince DW to go up to the altar rail with a little tub of frosting.

I guess now that'll have to wait until after lent.

As to the OP:

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! "

"But Mom," her daughter wailed. "I already failed Home Ec!"
