Lemons to Lemonade

When life gives you LEMONS make LEMONADE
Nothing says SUMMER like a glass of lemonade.

LIFE is a bunch of little lessons.
The question is ...
Does the little life lesson become
a BITTER
or SWEET experience?


Some BITTER feelings include
*Fear*
*Anger*
*Harsh judgement*
*Guile*


SWEET feelings include
*Knowledge*
*Peace*
*Understanding*
*Truth*

The best way to change BITTER lemons
to SWEET lemonade
is to add SUGAR.
The best & purest sugar (don't use the artificial stuff!)
is service or good works.
It is through good works that you come to appreciate the
truly SWEET things in life.



Fear turns to Knowledge
Anger turns to Peace


Harsh judgement turns to Understanding
and
Guile turns to Truth


Make LEMONADE today!
You'll find it very REFRESHING!
