When Life Gives You Lemons

You've heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."  Well, what about making it into alternative bleach instead?  What?!  You heard me right, alternative bleach.  Take those lemons and let their acidic juice squirt all over you, then add some salt (you are reading this right) and scrub it together.  Once you've done that, set in the sun to dry.  When you're dry, rinse off for a clean and beautiful you! 

I know you must think I'm crazy, but what if we did it?  It's easier to make the lemonade of course, and more fun; but what if you let those lemons clean you??  A lot of times when life is giving you lemons things are just down right dirty.  Instead of adding a coat of sugar to that lemon and drinking it down, let that lemon serve a purpose.  Sure you might feel refreshed with that lemonade, but it lasts for a moment, until you're thirsty again; and guess what?  You're still dirty from all that dirt that came with the lemon!  Take that lemon, add some salt (the Bible), and scrub it together (prayer)!!  Once you've done that, go set in the sun to dry!  Let God's love and His words soak through you and bask in Him.  He's got it covered no need to worry!  Although, this is always easier to do than not, (worry), but you have to work at it sometimes.  Enjoy the rays.  Just close your eyes and bask in the sun.  Take deep breaths, breath out slowly while you're waiting to dry, and feel that warmth touch your skin and pull out that dirt.  When the drying time is done, go rinse off that dirt.  You'll be amazed to see something beautiful looking back at you, once all that dirt's been alternatively bleached out of you!  No need for harsh abrasive chemicals here to clean you up!  You can even drink it down if you'd like and it wouldn't hurt you.  A lot of times our insides need to be cleansed too..  Think about it.  Next time life throws you lemons what are you going to do with them?  I'll make BLEACH!

In case you were wondering....I came across this recipe at http://www.frugalliving.com/.  My son's football pants were ground with dirt after our football game.  We try to use as few harsh chemicals as possible in our house so I went searching the internet for an alternative.  There you go!  I got a life lesson too!!  For FREE!
