God's Treats

I've always had an obsession with Funfetti cupcakes. There is something about this particular kind that just make me smile. I've often related cupcakes to friendships. In our lifetime, we have many different types of friends. Some friends are there for a lifetime, others are there for a short time but leave a special place in our hearts and others are there in our time of need. God puts people in our lives for a reason each and every day. Some friends disappear and you never speak to them again, yet they teach us life lessons. New friends may appear out of nowhere and you feel like you've known them for years. We may not understand the role of some of the people that are placed there, but each has an everlasting effect on our life.

FUNFETTI CUPCAKE FRIENDS: These are the people that make you laugh. They are fun-loving and a pleasure to be around. We all have these friends that we don't talk to often, but when we do it's like you never miss a beat. These are people that come and go, but leave us with a little bit of sunshine that we never forget. 

CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE FRIENDS: These are friends that you share your deepest, darkest secrets with. They are the ones that you meet in college that you become ultimately close to and keep in touch with the rest of your lives. They are your teammates, your classmates or who you call your brothers and sisters. Theses friends may be in your life for a long time or come and go, but these friends you cherish for a lifetime. 

VANILLA CUPCAKE FRIENDS: These are the life-long friends that you have known for almost all of your life. These are the friends you have had since grade school or high school.  These are the friends that you have been in their weddings, you have been at the hospital when their kids were born and friends that you miss every day. Very few of us have many of these, but the ones we have we need to cherish dearly. As you get older, you realize that real friends are hard to find. These are the people that would drop anything to come help you or be with you in a time of need. These are the normal, down to earth people who know everything about you and have walked through the not only the good times, but the hard times as well. 

So the next time you bake cupcakes or happen to enjoy one of these small, yet delicious treats; think about your friends both new and old and be grateful for what they have given you, taught you(both good and bad) and continue to bless you with for the rest of your life. The next time you want to make someone smile....bake them some funfetti cupcakes!
