Short Stories
COMMON SENSE "What’s Missing?"
Once upon a time or so the story goes, there was a newlywed bride who wanted to please and surprise her husband.
“What should I do?” She asked an older housewife.
“As my grandmother taught me, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” She replied wisely.
“Then I know what to do. I will bake him his favor cake.” She said leaving immediately for home.
She gathered up all the ingredients needed for the cake; flour, salt, milk, vanilla flavoring, eggs, pots, pans, mixing bowls, and such. She worked hard to complete it and have it for his dinner.
Anxiously waiting until after dinner, she presented her gift to her husband with joy.
“It looks wonderful,” he said, cutting a large chunk out of it. But with a grimaced smile he said, “It’s tastes fine.”
“What’s wrong?” She questioned, as he swallowed painfully. Taking a bite herself, she immediately understood. “Sugar!” She exclaimed.
COMMON SENSE SAYS: No matter how well something might look on the outside, things may not be right on the inside. The practice of religion, prayers, and songs on the outside may not reflect what is missing on the inside; Jesus.
