When Life gives you Lemons, Remember This

Lemon Preserves

The lemon is cut, smothered with salt

then smashed into a jar

covered with more salt 

then left  in a dark place

for months

Once it is ready

and the lid has been opened

The salt will block your tongue from tasting 

the sour

 It is still there

but all you taste

 is the lemon

When in your personal brine

hurting and 

feeling alone

the Lord acts like the salt

 blocking the sour and pain

It is still there

but you are strengthened  

and suddenly you are able to bare it.

 "..the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease. "Mosiah 24:15
