Lord, You are so smart!! This "lemonade" thing is really blessing people. I had a conversation with a sister/friend of mine (Love you, Val!) and she blessed me with a thought. She visited "The Lemonade Stand" last week and then she called and reminded me of how sometimes the sugar settles at the bottom of the pitcher...WHOA! That leaped in me!!
I believe that when we finally get to the point where we decide to do something productive with the lemons, we don't fully stir. What do I mean? Well, we have these sour lemons and then we add sugar (which, of course, represents God). This now changes the bitter taste of the fruit. If we didn't spend time consistently stirring, then the moment we leave the pitcher sitting, what happens? The sugar settles at the bottom.
This week's thought is this...We cannot lie dormant as if life is not happening all around us. Get God involved in your issues - in your dreams. He wants more for you than you want for yourself. His presence sweetens the drink and changes your perspective. Your "it" is not as bad as it may seem or taste...Just keep stirring!! God is the resolve...He is what makes the sour sweet! Be encouraged.
OOHHHHHH!!!! I love it! We got to keep stirring!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! This gives a new perspective on stirring up the gift of God, 2 Timothy 1:6! God is not going to stir for us. It is our responsibility to do the stirring!
ReplyDeleteExcellent thought. When stirring the sugar, you shift the sugar from the bottom and cause the entire contents to change. I am changed because the sugar(God)is stirred. Love it.

ReplyDeleteStir it up girl. We must keep stirring the Sugar until it dissolves, even though our hands get tired sometimes. The flavor does not change if you stop stirring.
