My dear wife carefully selected a succulent orange from the monkey-protected fruit bowl. She peeled it with anticipation enjoying the citrus fragrance. She tasted the delicious goodness... of a lemon.
What? "She must be nuts!" you say. Well take a look.
Recall that I mentioned harvesting lemons right outside my big classroom. Well some of these lemons definitely have an orange cast, and an orange shape. "Perhaps they are oranges" you suggest. Well, the proof is in the tasting.
Well there is some cliche about making lemons into lemonade, so I took her orange-impersonating lemon and made some lemonade.
I really like lemonade, and recall that it is supposed to prevent kidney stones, so it was a happy task.
Some of you old timers may recall that old song, "Lemon tree very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat."
Well, if you can't eat lemons...
G^d provides. He provides in abundance. What He provides is always good, though we may not perceive it at first.
Here's to lemonade!
