Thinking of alternatives to the famous quote, " When life gives you lemons... make lemonade. " A quote meaning to make the best of adversity. There are several ways we can react to adversity! How would you end this quote?
When life gives you lemons... make a delicious pie and smack em in the face with it!" "When life gives you lemons.... say, thank you, I love lemons!" "When life gives you lemons... make lemonade, set up a stand, and give it to anyone who is thirsty." "When life gives you lemons... Thank God for the fruit. " "When life gives you lemons... remember, without the sour, we can't appreciate the sweet."

I like it. Hmmm, let's see. When someone gives you lemons make them a lemon meringue pie (Romans 12:20,21).

Oh wow such sweet ways of interpreting the quote in your own poetic language! The first one's so powerful and savage in a way which embodies strength in the heart.. and I especially like the third one ~ so artistic and imaginative. Sending you best wishes and light ~
