Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for life, lemons and lemonade.
In our refrigerator, you will always find dozens of fresh organic lemons. I use them liberally to flavor hot or cold drinks and tangy desserts. I also love the color of lemons. Yellow exudes optimism and strength and a sense of humor - three things I need to lift my sagging spirit.
I catch myself dwelling on the negative events of the past 12 months while carelessly ignoring the many blessings. This is not good - I definitely need an attitude adjustment.
I enter the kitchen and eye the bag of yellow fruit. Without thinking, I find the sharpest knife and begin slicing. With life giving me so many lemons, it's time to make more lemonade.
For these blessings, I am grateful.
Amen.
