“We know that one aspect of pure religion is to serve widows and orphans. Single moms face many of the same difficulties widows endure-parenting solo while fulfilling two parental roles. We all need to help however we can. Brenda and I think this series can help fund initiatives that serve single mothers and their children with love and compassion.”

“It’s true that in life stuff happens, but I’ve found that Lemonade
Happens™ too! It is my deepest wish that God Makes Lemonade
encourages and inspires you.”

God Makes Lemonade True Stories that Sweeten & Inspire
I bet you could use a little good news right about now. We have just the book for you! In God Makes Lemonade™ you’ll read stories from everyday folks
who discover unexpected sweetness in the midst of sour circumstances.
Some of these real-life stories are laugh-out-loud funny, others are sobering, and more than a few will have you reaching for a tissue. We sure did!
But these true stories all have one thing in common: hope.
There’s no question that life gives us “lemons,” like issues with health, employment, and relationships-truly sour circumstances we wouldn’t wish on anyone. But when those lemons become lemonade, it’s as refreshing as an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day.
