Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did G-d have to do this to me?'
A daughter was telling her Mother how everything was going wrong, she was failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend was moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother was baking a cake and asked her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter said, '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 replied: '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! '
G-d works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But G-d knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for the good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
