A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong. School, family
problems, severe health problems, etc.
Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a cake, which,
of course, he does.
"Here, have some cooking oil."
"Terrible!" says the boy.
"How about a couple raw eggs?"
"Terrible! Grandma!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Grandma, those are all awful!"
To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad by themselves, but when they are
put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
"Life works the same way. Many times we wonder why it would let us go through such bad
and difficult times. But life knows that when it puts these things all in its order, they always work for
good!
"The trials(考验)of life serve a meaningful purpose in making us stronger. Do not lose
heart if life is not easy for you right now, but encourage yourself and know you will be much stronger
mentally and physically because of the trials of life. "
