~ Making Pancakes ~
Six -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parents
pancakes He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter,
opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling it on
the floor.


He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed in most of
a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail on the floor
which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.


Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated. He wanted this to be
something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad.


He didn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or on
the stove and he didn't know how the stove worked! Suddenly he saw his
kitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away, knocking
the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean up this
monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas white and
sticky.


And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tears welled up

in Brandon 's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good, but he'd made
a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybe even a spanking.
But his father just watched him.


Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged him and
loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process!


That's how God deals with us.. We try to do something good in life, but it
turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky, or
we insult a friend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour.


Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think of anything
else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us and forgives us, even
though some of our mess gets all over Him.


But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes"
for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, and then they'll
be glad we tried...


I was thinking and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed,
friendships that need rekindling, or three words needing to be said,
sometimes, "I love you" can heal and bless!
Remind every one of your friends and family that you love them.
Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what
those three little words, a smile, and a reminder like this can do.


Just in case I haven't told you lately...
" I LOVE YA! "
Please pass some of this love on to others....suppose one morning you were
called to God; do all your friends and family know you love them?


Send this to everyone you love, and send it back to the person who sent it
to you.. And never stop
"Making Pancakes."
