Many of you may follow Sarah Ann at Bon Mot (if you don't, you should!) and have probably read this, but I wanted to share (paraphrase) it again because it really inspired me this week.
When Life Gives You Lemons...
Sarah and her bible study group are going through different women in the Bible, and this week, they came to Mary. Each week, she challenges the girls to put themselves in the shoes of the woman they're studying. "Well, this week was crazy. Talk about an "interruption" to the life she had planned. She almost lost the husband she was about to marry, and she became pregnant, sans the baby-making. It's kind of more than an interruption. It's a lemon. A big, fat, yellow one.
The thing that blew us all away about Mary was:
She found moments to treasure in her heart, even when her life did not go as planned. She chose to make the interruption a treasure. She chose to love the lemon."
When life gives you lemons, choose to see the beauty of the lemon. Thank God for the lemon. Treat the lemon as if it was such a pleasant surprise, that you can't imagine life without it.
