Sweet Sunday - Metaphor Muffins

I know that some of you are concerned that I never made it home from New York.  Let me put your mind at ease.  The flight home did not crash.  In fact, John and I had extra leg room since we got to share three seats.  We also got Ben & Jerry's as a snack, so it was pretty much a perfect flight!  Now that we have that out of the way, back to my post . . .

Right now my favorite muffins are baking.  I call them Raspberry Muffins, but we may have to change the name.  When I made them last weekend, Evan actually complained because the raspberries were a little bit tart.  I explained that the rest of the muffins were sweet so it was the perfect combination!

Then Aaron joined the conversation in the role of wise older brother.  "You know Evan, that's kind of how life is."  And it's true!  We have to take the bitter/sour/tart along with the sweet.

Here are a couple of scriptures for you to ponder while I go get my muffins out of the oven.

"And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet" Doctrine & Covenants 29:39

"Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy." Alma 36:21

P.S. If you want the recipe.  Go HERE and scroll to the end of the post.

P. P. S  Today, I left the raspberries out of one of the muffins especially for Evan.
