What It Was, Was Fruitcake (standard:humor, 910 words)
Author: GodspenmanAdded: Dec 28 2014Views/Reads: 2016/1511Story vote: 0.00 (0 votes)
The period between November 1 and January 1 happens to be my favorite time frame. Oh yes, there is the idea of Christmas and Christmas presents and all of that. I certainly enjoy Christmas with my family and friends.

Don't you think it's a little hypocritical for those people who think a
cake is bad, and then have it on certain celebrations? For example. How 
could you have a wedding without having a wedding cake? I could go on 
from there if you want me to. No matter what the celebration, cake 
makes it better. 

I fondly remember the first time I brought home Fruitcake for our
Christmas festivities. I set it on the table and my wife looked at me 
and said, “What in the world is that?” 

I looked at her and smiled one of those smiles that comes to someone who
is happy to be doing what he's doing at the time and said, “This is not 
from the world, my dear, this is from heaven.” Then I explained to her 
what a fruitcake was. I'm not sure she bought the whole story. 

Life is full of combining things and when combined with other things
they take on a new identity. I think life is much like a Fruitcake. 

Perhaps Jesus said it best, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:29-30). 

When we combine our life with Jesus we take on His identity.
