Page 42 of 153 themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk. He’ll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments seek God. Quiet moments worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody. Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. One step at a time One step at a time is the best way to go. When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams, the best way to get ahead is the simplest way: Take one step at a time. Don’t look over your shoulder; if you do, you’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you. And don’t worry about what lies ahead. By the time you get to the bend in the road or the crest of the hill, you’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before. Just go one step at a time, one day at a time. And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford.
