Life is like a Javanilla shake
And not just because I happened to have one last free day. No, the parallels of shake to life are interestingly similar.
Take the Javanilla shake, it is comprised of a sweet chunk of ice cream and some bitter coffee. This concoction is swirled around until the two create a beautiful harmony of coffee-cream taste. Take life, it is comprised of joy and happiness (that would be the ice cream part) and hurts, disappointments, pain and strife (that would be the bitter coffee part.) These ingredients swirl around and create life as we know it, sometimes it’s a bit heavy on the bitter and we need to add more joy. Sometimes it gets way too sweet and hardships enter in to bring us back in balance (Jesus didn’t say life would always be ice cream sweet.) Also, you can’t gulp a Javanilla shake, you’ll get an ice cream headache. You have to savor each sip and let the flavor overcome you. In life to, you can’t race to the end of the week, you have to take each day as it comes and you can choose to take each hour of that day and slowly savor it.
Matthew 6:34 Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
