“The LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning …” (Job 42:12)
Every time you break an egg, the potential exists for something wonderful to happen. I recently introduced a friend to the frittata. Changed his life, lol! He immediately fell in love with and has been endeavoring to make them ever since. As someone who’s been cooking and baking most of my life, I can testify to the transformative power of eggs. My daughter once found a recipe for peanut butter cookies that included just peanut butter, sugar and egg. From these simple ingredients comes the the fastest cookie you’ll probably ever make. Just delicious! But eggs are so fragile. Drop one on the floor and it’s ruined. Try as you might, you cannot salvage them.
It struck me this morning how much this resembles my life. Repeatedly, my eggs have been wrecked beyond repair, like Humpty Dumpty. But God has given me beauty for ashes, from my sorrows came joy, His peace was revealed through my pain. He poured upon me the Oil of gladness and I often found that calamity brought renewed prosperity, as in the case of Job. So maybe we ought not get so turnt up about troubles as they come. They may just be new opportunities to create something great. God can create something wonderful, even out of eggs that have crashed to the floor.
Be blessed,
Loria
We thank GOD for everything, everything good, bad it helped formed who we are today.
George, I must admit that my life is better for some of my troubles. The rest have yet to be seen š
