Are you aware of the blessings you receive everyday? What about when something doesn’t go the way you expected, but it turns out better than imagined? I call these moments Blessed Lemons. Read on to discover how one man missed seeing his blessings because of expectations……

A man whispered, “God, speak to me” and a nightingale sang.
But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, “God, speak to me” and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, “God, let me see you” and a star shined brightly.
But the man did not notice.

And, the man shouted,
“God, show me a miracle” and, a life was born.
But, the man did not know.

So, the man cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know you are here.” God reached down and touched the man.
But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked away.

Don’t miss out on a blessing because it isn’t packaged the way that you expect. Accept the sweetened lemons that fill your daily cup and savor the blessings being poured upon you.
