Why is it that people say, “When life gives you lemons…” it’s always in a response to something bad?
What is wrong with lemons?
Coincidentally, my daughter just sent this to me from her phone.
Why not cherries? Or grapes? Why not complain about them?
Why not suggest what to do when life gives us avocados? I hate avocados!
What if life gave you tomatoes for your iced tea? You’d be wishing you had some lemons, I bet.
No, it’s always the poor lemon. It’s like everyone is prejujuiced.
What’s wrong with a little sourness every once in a while?
The fact is that God doesn’t just allow lemons, He sends them as a gift! Unfortunately, most people never take the time to recognize the benefits of a little acidity.
So, the next time when life gives you lemons instead of strawberries, don’t be so negative; you might have been spared an allergic reaction from hell without even knowing it.
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
If nothing else, add the lemon to your tea.

Ha! Words of wisdom, indeed. Stop complaining about the lemmons people, there are much worse things in the world. Like scurvy. Scurvy is what happens to pirates when they have no lemmons. It’s very unpleasant.

Ha! Also, that would be “lemons,” not to be confused with lemmings.
