Paula's Lemons into Lemonade Life Formula
3 parts water which represents the river of life
1 part the juice of lemons, such as disappointment, disillusionment, worry, anxiety, illness or stress.
To taste: faith, forgiveness, praise, worship, humility, encouragement, the fruit of the spirit. All of these will add sweetness to the lemons.
You need the sweetness and the tartness to make a great tasting pitcher of lemonade, just as in life we often have to take the bitter with the sweet. It's always a matter of balance and perspective. And as the Bible says, "Count it all joy!" (James 1:2)
Now just add some fresh mint for a real treat.
