Lemonhead.

They say when life hands you lemons you either: make lemonade, throw them at life, complain about having no sugar, or ignore the lemons completely, right? Okay, so I know that’s not how the saying really goes, but for those of us who don’t like lemonade (and take this as a metaphor or not…because I actually don’t like lemonade!) Some days I’d like to throw the lemons at the people who frustrate me or upset me. A lot of the time though, I feel like most of us tend to do the complaining part though. When life gets us down we want to complain to anyone who will remotely pay us a lick of attention. But that’s not what we should do, is it? The Bible says God will never give us more than we can bear. So why worry? Why throw the lemons? Or complain? And we should definitely not ignore our problems or God. So what to do when you don’t like your lemons? You make the best of every situation. Look at the bright side right? Easier said than done I know. Seeing that silver lining can be really difficult, but I always like to remember this verse: Philipians 4:6-7 “ Never worry in anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.” This verse is something I have hidden in my heart to remember that no matter what lemon I am handed, its nothing I can’t handle, because I have God on my side.
