Yucky Stuff

-
A little boy was telling his grandma how everything was going wrong -- problems at school, relational conflicts, unreasonable parents -- on and on he went.

As he poured out his litany of complaints, his grandmother busied herself, making a cake. "Would you like a snack, honey?" she asked.

"Of course!" he replied. (No kid ever turns down a snack!)

"Here, have a couple of raw eggs," she offered.

"What?? You've got be kidding, Grandma!"

"How about some cooking oil, then? Or maybe some flour? Perhaps some tasty baking soda?"

"You're nuts, Grandma! That's disgusting, yucky stuff! I wouldn't ever eat that!"

"Oh, but you do," the Grandmother replied. "When I put them all together into a cake, they're wonderful!"

When tempted to whine about our problems, we need to remember that God is able to mix them up, pop them in the oven, and turn them into good.

"All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
