...make lemonade. I recently got a blog award from 2 blogging friends Cindy and Annie. Both leaving me a little sweet note about how I try to make the best of difficult situations and have a positive blog. I have to say, Annie's words brought me to tears this morning. Knowing that I have been an bit of encouragement to her as she too is going through times without her spouse by her side. I was truly blessed by her post.
According to Annie's post, The Lemonade Award is for people who have positive attitudes, are upbeat, show gratitude and when life gives them lemons, make lemonade.The rules for this award are that you post the graphic, write about the giver and link back to her, and pass it on to up to 10 others. Leave a comment for the receiver(s) so that they know what's going on.
So I want to pass on this award to Susan (HERE), her blog about missionary life is an encouragement to see the world through someone else's point of view. She has graciously handled difficult circumstances living the life of a missionary giving up all familiar and comfortable life to further the gospel in an unreached area of our world. Not only is her blog a place for other missionaries to go and relate to her vulnerable feelings, it is also helpful to see life from a different perspective.
I also want to pass on the award to Karen (HERE). I follow her blog and find that she shares her life from a positive point of view. Her words are not full of complaining but enduring life as a Godly woman. I love how she is challenging others to hide God's word in our hearts.
So pass on the encouragement to keep your chin up and stay positive. This little award was just the encouragement I needed today. =)

Yes, you are a lemonade kinda gal.
What a sweet affirmation from such dear friends. How wonderful to have such blessed fellowship - even from those whom you have never met face to face. Won't heaven be wonderful? We'll be running all over the place greeting, hugging, kissing. And to see our gracious Lord face to face!
Thanks sister for your sweet encouragement, to continue to make lemonade with life's lemons. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today dear friend. Too sweet. Hang in there living out of suitcases and the mess.
