When the Cheese Falls off the Cracker

When the Cheese Falls off the Cracker

Picture this:  A thick slice of Flagship Cheese on a crisp Ritz cracker.  Yum.  Give me a glass of milk and I’m a happy camper … until the cheese falls off the cracker.

When that happens, it’s all over – almost.  Or so some would think.

How many ways can we say “cheese falls off the cracker?”

-A man in his 80’s who can’t move and think as he did 20 years ago

-A singer who can no longer hit the high C’s

-A 19-year-old who showed tremendous early abilities and now her peers have caught up

-A 54-year-old woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer

-A 59-year-old man recently fired because “they need fresh ideas”

-A 30-something woman facing a divorce that wasn’t supposed to happen

-A 55-year old woman whose husband died of a heart attack

These are dismal pictures.  Sad states in which no one wants to find themselves.

Yet it happens.

Sometimes the cheese just falls off the cracker.

If you ever face hardships, disappointment, struggles, shattered dreams, have heroes let you down, or sometimes get discouraged, keep reading. 

When the cheese falls off your cracker, remember three things:

~God still loves~

~God still knows where you are – He has your address memorized~

~You are welcome at any time to knock on His door.  He will leave the light on for you~

Sometimes, we pick up the cheese and put it back on the cracker.

   Other times we go to the kitchen and get another slice.

      And sometimes we choose something else to eat.

Using metaphors, you get the idea here.

You get to decide which action to take. 

Either way, God is still God. 

He saw the cheese fall.  He sees what you need now. 

...And He is still God.

I find great comfort in that thought.
