"Life's Recipe" or "Happiness Cake" (1998)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

Maybe someone with FACTIVA can track down "Life's Recipe" (or "Recipe for
Life" or "Happiness Cake") that I found in a recent Texas cookbook.

Good morning everyone.  It is literally the top of the day.
Although for me, it is the end.  Been farming again, and it
has been a looonnnggg day.  Ready for bed, just to get up
again in a couple of hours.  A church member gave me a little
encouraging word that I would like to share with you.  I don't
know who wrote it.<p>
<b>     Recipe for  Life<p>
1 cup good thoughts<p>
1 cup kind deeds<p>
1 cup consideration for  others<p>
1 cup well beaten  faults<p>
3 cups of  forgiveness</b><p>
Mix thoroughly and add tears of  joy, sorrow and sympathy
for others.  Fold in four cups of prayer  and faith to
lighten other ingredients and let rise to great heights  of
Christian living.  After pouring all this into your family
life, bake well with the warmth of human kindness.  Serve with
a Indiana SMILE :).<p>
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I.  Everyone have a great day.
Peace my Friends and God bless you!
