Mom, are we having cold cereal again?

Have you ever tasted the cereal "Life?"

It sucks.

The flavor is just plain nasty and it gets soggy fast.

I even sprinkled sugar on it but to no avail.

It still sucks.

Ironic?  I think not.
Sometimes life sucks. Sometimes it's soggy. 
And sometimes it seriously lacks flavor.

My box of life is called "Mom."

*Percent of Daily Values are based on an average day in the life of a single mom. Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your individual circumstances.*

Your box of cereal probably reads a little different than mine. You might have more fiber, less calories, or less fat.
Or maybe you have more sugar, less carbs and more protein.

Does that make yours better than mine?  Nope.
Does that make mine better than yours?  Nope.

Life is not a box of cereal.
I certainly wouldn't have picked out the "Single Mom" flavor.I have a lot on my plate and I make A LOT of mistakes.
But so do you.
No one is exempt.

"We are like passengers in individual lifeboats,
all of which have holes in them of our own making. 
The holes in some of the boats are larger than those in others,
 and some boats have more holes and others fewer.
But no matter the size or number of the holes in our boats,
 the terrible truth is that each of us is sinking.
 If these holes represent our sins, no matter the size or number of our sins, each of us needs the Savior as much as anyone else does. Whether one transgression or ninety and nine, our predicament is the same."
Falling to Heaven ~ James Ferrell 

I really do like cereal.
Although sometimes is tastes disgusting and
I might need to borrow some of your sugar.
You may need to borrow mine.
But we both need the Savior.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
 Philippians 4:13

Stay thirsty my friends.
(I know that is totally unrelated but it's funny.)
