I was suppose to write a blurb about Korie and our testimony that went along with the above theme....here it is:
When Steve and I found out we were going to have a second child, the doctors told us that we were going to have a "lemon". In fact, three doctors told us that we could throw that lemon away and start over. Without hesitation, we refused because we know that God creates no accidents.
However, at times, this has been very difficult to accept. It is hard to make "lemonade" out of something so sour. The sour times were giving up the dream of a healthy child, of not being a "normal" family. They were 14 times in a surgery waiting room, sometimes wondering if our time with her was up. I could go on.
But, if you add enough sugar or sprinkle enough spice, the bitter can be made sweet. God added the sugar to Korie's personality. "I love you, Mommy" is repeated over and over daily with lots of kisses and hugs. She thinks her mom is the best mom in the whole world and every day is a day to cherish.
God added the spice be giving her the spunk to be strong and to teach us that we have little to complain about and show us how wonderful life should be.
Yes, God gave us a "lemon"....to teach us how to make lemonade. We have tasted it and it is SWEET!!
