Making Lemonade out of Lemons

Now for a serious blog (you probably won't see too many of these from me)....

The last year has been a really strange year.  It's had lots of ups and downs, some worse than others, some better, but despite it all, I've managed to make some lemonade.  I've always been a relatively happy person (except when I was going through menopause, but that's a whole other blog!).  This year has challenged my happiness on many levels.  I found myself falling into a depression that I could not seem to recover from.  

I am a Christian and I know that whatever I turn over to God will turn out well.  My problem was that I am also human and I had a hard time really turning it ALL over to God.  Therein lay my biggest problem.  When I finally did let go, things began to look up and a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders, literally.

I can feel myself getting back to normal as each day passes and it makes my soul sing with a joyful noise.  There is power in prayer and faith, even when it is being tested to what you think is your limit.

Just remember that and then try to make lemonade out of those lemons that life drops on your head along the way.  It really tastes pretty good.
