Lemonading Life

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Buddy Champion

The typical experience of this life is really just a bunch of lemons! While driving down the road this week, I realized that God really does take those lemons of life and turn them into sweet lemonade. Sometimes I get so frustrated dealing with the “lemons” that I miss the fact that God has blessed me in unbelievable ways. It is overwhelming to “count my blessings and name them one by one!” Here they are: I hope they encourage you!

· A wife…indescribable;

· 3 daughters…how much fun they are;

· Many great churches that I have been a part of;

· A great heritage in my family;

· Hunting and beach opportunities that have been poured into my lap;

· A great team to work with at FBCT;

· People who trust your struggling leadership;

· Vision from God that I can’t keep up with;

· Flying airplanes…now that’s a blast;

· A pastor of a great church that 1000’s could lead better than I;

· A passion to work and provide for my girls;

· Abilities that only God can get the credit for;

· A great home that only God could provide;

· Good health, but if I die, I go straight to Heaven;

· Great friends who really do care;

· Opportunities to impact lives that blow me away;

· Fishing;

· All the “toys” that I can’t keep running;

· And did I mention an incredible wife?

Have you made your own list lately? Why does God bless someone like me? I don’t know but it sure is fun and I thank Him for it! I think I’ll go get some lemonade!
