We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior. He who has stood before his God, convicted and condemned, with the rope about his neck, is the man to weep for joy when he is pardoned, to hate the evil which has been forgiven him, and to live to the honor of the Redeemer by whose blood he has been cleansed.
C.H. Spurgeon

Afflictions serve most effectually to convince us of the vanity of all that this world can afford, to remind us that this is not our rest and to stir up desires and hopes for our everlasting home. They produce in us a spirit of sympathy towards our companions in tribulation. They give occasion for the exercise of patience, meekness, submission, and resignation. Were it not for the wholesome and necessary discipline of affliction, these excellent virtues would lie dormant. Afflictions serve to convince us more deeply of our own weakness and insufficiency, and to endear the person, the grace, the promises, and the salvation of our Redeemer, more and more to our hearts. Thus we are taught to esteem His very chastisements as precious on account of the benefits we derive from them.

INGREDIENTS

2 pk Cake mix, prepared
2 cn White frosting
Food coloring
1 Hostess Ho-Ho (or similar cake-roll snack item)

INSTRUCTIONS

This is actually more a method than a recipe, but given the recent requests
for Halloween goodies I thought it might be of interest. I originally saw
this in Parents Magazine about two years ago.  It has been a favorite for
our family celebrations since then!
Prepare two cakes in bundt pans, cool completely. Color most of the
frosting a deep orange, reserving about 1/2 c , which should be colored
black (you may also use dark chocolate fudge frosting). Place one bundt
cake upside down (rounded side on the bottom) on cake plate; frost top
only.  Place second bundt cake flat-side down on top of first cake. Frost
entire cake with orange frosting, making up and down motions with spatula
to simulate pumpkin. Insert Ho-Ho in the middle of the top of the bundt
cake to make the stem. Use black frosting to make eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
Black rope licorice may also be used.
