When life hands you lemons....

Have you heard the old saying "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Ok,of course you have, everyone has. I know someone very near and dear to my heart that has lived that expression to the fullest. God truly knew what He was doing when He made this woman. She is strong in her faith, determined to give her kids the best, and a fighter of a breast cancer.She was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago, under went a mastectomy, went through painful chemotherapy treatments and then the doctors told her the cancer was back in the other breast. Well being the fighter that she is, she decided to remove the tumor and pray they got all the cancer. And pray she did. We all did. Through all these tribulations in her life, she never once turned her back on the great things that the Lord had done for her or the great things she knew He was going to do for her. Now that is faith. She is the woman that I only hope I can become (one of these days). She is courageous, faithful to the Lord and a mother that I only dream of being. Her kids come first before anything or anyone. (Except the Lord). She attends every football game, every wrestling tournament, and every awards banquet that Ruidoso High School and the senior class can dish out. She even dressed up as the mascot for one of Gavin's football games. She travels to Texas every chance she gets to visit her daughter that is attending college there. Kaycee is close to finishing her nursing degree. She also teaches Sunday school at her local church and works at her job. This amazing woman is my hero, my role model and my Auntie Grace. Thank you Auntie Grace for giving me, KayCee, my two girls and future girls in our family an amazing Christian woman to look up to. Thank you for being our families prayer warrior and always being there for me. I love you with all my heart.So to sum up the life long expression of "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Do like Auntie Grace. Keep your eye on the Lord, thank Him for everything He has done and the things He will continue to do. Pray and Pray some more. Prayer is so powerful. Always keep the Faith and don't forget to pass the lemonade...
