When life hands you lemons...

From a little book called "little glimpses of good: finding hope in every today"

once there was a sad orange.
it was sad because it didn't rhyme with anything.
it tried to act all sunny and happy,
but deep down it knew it was alone.
hey, wait a minute.
i'm juicy and sweet
and full of vitamins and sunshine
and rain and orangey flavor.
it's all good.
and the moral of the story is...
if you're an orange, be an orange.
don't be a kiwi.
and speaking of lemons (as we weren't)
when life hands you some you know what to do...
the recipe
six lemons life just handed you
one quart water, which you wouldn't have if not for the rain
sugar to taste
squeeze, pour, mix
keep tasting as you go

Thoughts...sometimes life doesn't go as planned. I am SO grateful that God has bigger plans than mine. And that He is always watching out for me!
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
