I made the Christmas Cake today, and while doing so I could not help comparing the making of it to life. As I weighed, chopped, boiled and stirred the ingredients, I compared it to different events in our lives. We have had a lot of horrible things happen over the last few years, but mixed in with the horrible has been the good times as well.
It is the same as the ingredients for the cake, a glace cherry on it's own is very sweet, raw egg can make you sick, brandy burns your throat, and flour is so dry. But mix them together and you get a cake. Now the end product can turn out very differently as well, you can burn it, the cake can flop, or it can be perfect. It is up to us to take those ingredients that life throws at us and turn it into something to be proud of, a life worth living.
John's cancer is an ingredient, a part of our lives and no matter which way it shapes us we will draw strength from it and survive!
