Prayer Requests |
Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience, and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
Jeremiah 29:12

My Thursday Thoughts – When Life Gives You Lemons
I like this picture and the sentiment in it. When life gives you lemons, what do you do with them?
It’s funny ’cause I love lemons. I actually have story about lemons & limes that I thought I would tell you today.
When I was younger, between say 12 – 17 years old, my dad would be sure to have lemons, limes and olives in the fridge. (I suppose he probably always did but this story pertains to this certain timeframe.) When he got home from work, he would go to make a drink. Depending on what he was making, he would get out one of the three to go with it. There were numerous times that he would go for a lemon or lime that he knew was there yesterday only to find it gone. You’d hear his low voice start with a rumble and turn to grumble when he’d say, “Terrriii!! Have you been eating my lemons/limes again?! What did I tell you about taking the last one?” I would go skulking in and say, “Sorry dad! I guess I didn’t realize it was the last one in there.” So he started buying them by the bag full and I refrained from eating the last one too! lol.
Don’t get me wrong, I love watermelon too. I just bought one not too long ago from a parking lot vendor. Don’t eat lemons and limes much anymore.
We all have our lemons in life, from vehicles to appliances to people, and we have to deal with what we get. It’s the getting rid of them that’s the hard part.
Anybody got some watermelon to trade?

Cracking Up
I am cracking up
About to fall apart
With my overflowing cup
From the very start
If into pieces broken
What will they do
When words I’ve spoken
Were all but true
They have silenced me
For my own good
How it must be
And said I would
That is really all
I can now say
Until the final ball
Is put in play!

Touch Enough
I remember the days
we couldn’t touch enough
Being away from you
was always so rough
And every little moment
together we would spend
Those are the days
thought would never end
But seems that life
gets in the way
As we go on
living it each day
Still need to touch
much as we can
Even though it’s not
what we did plan
And yet our love
does continues to grow
With the sedated passion
old married folk know!
