SOUR LEMONS

when life gives you LEMONS make LEMONADE

at least that is what my mom used to tell me
  i love LEMONADE
 it is refreshing...with the right amount of tartness and sweetness

 it quenches the thirst on a hot summer's day
 it brings smiles to passerbys
when youngins' set up a LEMONADE stand
 in hopes of making a buck
let's face it
i can't enjoy my cool LEMONADE
without having a
few LEMONS

it is the combination of sour LEMONS
with the sweetness of sugar and water
that make for the glass of liquid sunshine

life is made up of a gazillion little choices
some bitter
some sweet
it is the combination of the two
that make for a full life
 so i will live with purpose
 i will make the most of the moments
 that have been afforded me
i will find sweetness in prayer and scripture study,

 in hope and faith,
in love and kindness
  it is time to count my joys once again.
to add at least one cup of hope and two cups of faith...
care for a glass?
