Cooking and Life

My wife tried a new recipe for dinner tonight.  Its amazing how the heat of an oven can blend flavors that don't seem to have anything in common.

The meal was chicken but the marinade it was cooked in was interesting.  A blend of cranberry sauce (with whole cranberries), Catalina salad dressing, and onion soup mix.

Before baking my wife let me taste the sauce, and I wasn't sure what to think.  After the oven did its trick I was surprised.  It was really good.

How does this relate to life?  Sometimes God mixes things that don't seem to go together and then the heat or pressure of some problem, or struggle blends these things and the result is better than we imagined.

Is God doing that for you?  He seems to be doing that for me.
