We received an email from Coles the other day, listing their specials for the week. At the bottom of the page, they advertised a new product that they are selling now. It is ... strawberry trifle! It looked so very delicious! Mum and Dad decided to buy one and “ taste test” it themselves! Dad went down to Coles the following morning to get the trifle, which they thought would be yummy to have as a dessert for lunch. Hmm....the trifle is frozen and you need to thaw it in the fridge for 24 hour’s! It was a “delayed” taste test, until the next day but the verdict was...delicious! I am not “ into” trifles so I didn’t eat it but Mum and Dad really enjoyed it!
The Strawberry trifle was made up of strawberries, sponge cake , jelly, cream and custard. Trifles are a little bit like life! The sponge cake is our everyday life that we enjoy living day by day. The strawberries are the little joyful blessings that pop into our life unexpectedly, as sometimes strawberry trifle doesn’t contain berries and sometimes it does! Jelly is clear, and reflects water. Water is vital for life and living, and in the same way love is so very vital for living also! The love of our loving Lord, and the love of our loved ones, family and friends. The cream is the “ dollops” of things that occur in our lives, that add a richness to our daily living. Life is beautiful and we are so rich when we take the time to stop and appreciate all that we have. The custard is the painful “ stodgy” experiences that we have. Custard can taste awful if it is lumpy! The awful painful times in our life are much easier to endure, if like custard they stirred up with a spoon of love, faith and hope ❤️
