Making Pancakes

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.

But just because we might mess up, we can't stop
trying to "make pancakes"
for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get
it right, and then they'll
be glad we tried...

So... what that thing is saying is that we are allowed to get our wet sticky messes all over God?

Not to present to vast a differing viewpoint, but that story illustrates how good parents and friends love and enjoy us, even the worst moments. Essentially, the story was touching up to the "this is how God sees us" part. Still, a nice heartstringer for those of us who bend to those.

Anyway, I don't see God in the little joyous moments. I see me and the rest of the confused, funny people on this screwed up dirtball.

If that dad was really like God, he would have drowned the kid for messing up the kitchen.

Yup. And then say it's for our own good.

Huh. I thought this was going to be a story about how God fucked up the creation of the universe just like the kid fucked up making the pancakes, and it turns out to be God loves you bullshit.

God wants pancakes? I thought the majority of the things we do in our life were not for God, but for our own enjoyment and survival...

There's a fundamental difference between my dad (who's still alive, thanks the Universe) and God (at least in the Bible):

I don't need to sacrifice my children to prove to my father that I love him...

The story should have ended with the kid spilling pancake guck all over the stove, putting out the pilot-light, and the place filling up with gas and exploding. The moral of the story being: "if your kid isn't old enough to make pancakes, he probably shouldn't be playing with the stove either".

I think the roles should be reversed. God is the six year-old kid, since he made a giant mess with the floods, genocide, and that stuff, and the dad is man, and despite supposedly messing things up, some people still praise God.

THAT would make sense

It's a damned good thing the kid didn't want to make a flower garden for his dad, because then his dad would have gotten pissed for spilling his seed.

no if you were describing the way god treats us, the father would have lit his son on fire and burned him alive OR drowned him in a deluge OR sent a weird cloud to kill the kid.

That's how God deals with us.

More proof that God approves of masturbation.

Does this also mean that when we "grow up" we become like God?
