have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love this — especially all the ladies who bake for church events
Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale, but she forgot to do it until the last minute.
She baked an angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center had dropped flat.
She said, “Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake.”
So, she looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake.
Alice found it in the bathroom … a roll of toilet paper.
She plunked it in and covered it with icing.
The finished product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church. Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had already been sold.
Alice was beside herself.
The next day, Alice was invited to a friend's home where two tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon.
After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the cake in question was presented for dessert.
Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said, “What a beautiful cake!”
Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church member) say,
“Thank you, I baked it myself.”
--The oldest mother in the world: Meet the woman who had her first child at 72 years old--
As couples are frequently told that they may be too old to have children, one couple in India have broken through all these age barriers and had a baby in their 70s.
They were never able to conceive naturally during their 46-year-marriage so the couple sought the help of fertility treatment.
The sprightly couple now have a beautiful baby boy and couldn’t be happier.
Daljinder Kaur, 72, and her 79-year-old husband sought fertility treatment in September 2014.
“I used to feel empty. There was so much loneliness,” Daljinder told the Agence France-Presse. “I had lost hope of becoming a mother ever.”
It wasn’t easy to convince doctors to give her the treatment but finally they agreed to her having rounds of IVF. Two years and three rounds later she conceived.
Daljinder gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 4.4lb who they named Arman, on April 19, 2016 — and she instantly became one of the world’s oldest mothers.
As if a healthy delivery without complications wasn’t surprising enough at Dalijinder’s age, she then went on to breastfeed her son for three months.
Almost 11 months after having her son, the media caught up with her to find out how she was coping.
Find out how this amazing family are finding life after their son arrived in the video below.
If I hadn’t watched this video I wouldn’t have believed that something like this was possible. Children are a gift and a blessing and should be celebrated.
