“A party without cake is just a meeting”

― Julia Child

Dear Friends, Theologians, and munchkins lend me some of your time, today I have come to the conclusion that a piece of cake with a cuppa as they call it in the land down there I mean Australia, cake and cuppa go hand in hand, such as goodness and mercy, such as love and friendship, such as black and white.

My dearest friends, munchkins, this year I had one motive that is to conquer the art of baking, in India where I was born baking was not that popular but as you know spices, curries, breads such as nan, chapattis and dosai’s made from rice flour go a long way to many hundreds of years.

But now coming back to baking cakes I had a fear that my cakes may not be great and that fear worked on my baking but as a wonderful Christian friend and sister in Christ in Church had a class on baking cup cakes my fear seemed to have subsided and my daughter and I had great fun baking cup cakes I know they are not the best cup cakes but my daughter and I had fun making icing and sprinkles

What I learnt was we have to face our fears sometimes when we fear the worst the worst usually happens, but when we change fear to love and positive energies God steps in takes away our fear and changes bad circumstance to the best, why because we did not let fear govern our lives

My grandmother told me something the other day she said ”My father feared getting a bad name that he never enjoyed life” How true is that we fear what Mr and Mrs Jones next door will talk about, or fear our parents or even fear God that life can not be enjoyed as long as we are true to ourselves and true to GOD who has given us life, health and strength why have fear, even the bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear but of love power and a sound mind.

You do not need to walk on eggshells walk on the carpet put for your life, it may not be a red carpet but a simple rug but man what a rug if you have a wonderful hug from someone who loves you and is there for you, sometimes that someone may be your child, your spouse or even God just reading his word listening to music and talking to HIM can take away your fears, today my friends overcome fear or fear will overcome you.

Tell yourself I will not be afraid, my God is with me and there is no fear in love, perfect love takes away fear,

Let love rule your hearts, takeaway hate and fear and you will have love

Lots of love

Indian Aunty
