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.

Sick Crash, I loved the story, and I agree with you 1000%
Yep, when we need Him most, God is always there for us, to pick us up and hold us, and make it better, if we only would let Him.

Why confident. confident i will. :D as quickly as upon a time, there became a farmer! The farmer watched over sixteen sheep. yet there have been too many sheep for the farmer to look after! So the farmer pointed to the smallest sheep and reported: Your ineffective! Get out! The sheep bleated and hugged his acquaintances and then toddled off. The smallest sheep that became outcast got here across a bright, dusty penny! the perfect. the moral of this tale is that i'm magnificent. xx Did you like this tale? I did! :D ?

Great story loved it because it re-mines me of the Footprints in the sand story. God is always there to help pick up our messes no matter how young or old or how small or big if we just let him
no matter how much we forget him.

Umm.... yeah I guess. And here I thought that you were going to say that the poor kid accidently mistook his parents stash of coke for flour.... Silly me!

I think it's sweet.
But who cleaned up the mess?
I'll bet it was Mom, then she made pancakes, of course.
