Lemonade

When life hands you lemons make lemonade. This was the theme of the children’s sermon at church this past week. What happens when life sometimes goes sour. What should we do?


What in your life has gone sour lately. In mine I could say a lot has gone sour, a divorce, a sick child, finding myself sicker each day as well but I could also say a lot has gotten sweeter in the last year too. I have learned alot about my Madison that is pretty cool, she is growing up to be a beautiful, intelligent little girl and is very caring for her brother and family members.

Sometimes I feel like I am always asking why me, why the baby, why now, just why in general. We need to remember that God has the power to make the bitter into sweet. We need to remember that our bitter circumstances are there to test us and to teach us to trust in God to meet every need. God cures and heals, we need to trust God that he will help make the sour in our lives sweet again.

Between the Leukodystrophy, Seizure disorder, Suspected Mitochondrial Disease, Optic Atrophy, Asthma, and now the Autism diagnosis I feel like the lemons will never be sweet no matter how much sugar we add to them. But the one thing I do know is that despite all the issues with baby Robby, God has a plan for us. He will protect us and guide us through this. Madison kept answering pastor Joanne with "the lemons are really soury" each time she would ask what is sour in your life. I am not sure if Maddy fully understood what the minister was saying when she kept asking about other things in life that could be sour. But I do know that Madison is making the best out of all of this and I am trying to be a strong mommy for both of them,

This week is busy with an asthma appt today and a Good Shepard Rehabilitation appt on Friday with a doctor that specializes in children with Muscular Dystrophy and other disabilities like Robby's.
