January
22, 2019– “What is the
difference between lemon juice and lemonade? You have to squeeze the lemon to
get both but when we add sweetener to the juice we get lemonade! Two people can
experience the same stress and yet respond very differently. When we allow God
to sweeten us by His grace we are like the lemonade that is so refreshing but
without God’s grace we respond to stress with resentment and bitterness.
Instead of getting better we get bitter! Also, bitterness is like a slow acting
poison; slowly killing our joy in life and impacting our family and friends
negatively.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you is
that when life sends you lemons that you will make lemonade!

Memory Verse Challenge - John 13:16
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he
that sent him. KJV
“Thanks for the electric guitar you gave
me for Christmas," little Chris Cody said to his uncle the first time he
saw him after the holidays. "It's the best present I ever got." "That's
great," said his uncle. "Do you know how to play it?" "Oh,
I don't play it," the little fellow said. "My mom gives me a dollar a
day not to play it during the day and my dad gives me five dollars a week not
to play it at night.” ChristiansUnite.com
