Blessing 117 - Crushed Cupcakes

I praise God for the protection that He gave Elyssa and Mariko today. For you see, they were involved in a car accident in Napa. Elyssa wanted to spend some quality time with Mariko so they decided to go Kara's Cupcakes. On their way home, they got into an accident. Praise God they were safe! Some bruises and pains will accompany them for a while, but I think the Rav 4 is closed to being totaled. A car can be replaced, but not precious lives. So when I went out to see them in Napa, she handed me this pink box with tears from her eyes. I just hugged her.

When I opened it, it was on its side, crushed, and bruised ... just like the girls. =( The cupcake also got affected by the big impact. It just depicted how the girls felt inside and out and how smashed the truck looked. But it still tasted delicious! As horrible as this incident must of been for them, there is always something to still praise God for. LIFE! Life can still be delicious even when the bitter times happen to us.

The cost of discipleship may someday cost us our lives. But today, bruises, sore muscles, and crushed cupcakes will be their crown of glory.
