When Life gives you lemons....

I've always tried to teach my children gratefulness, respect, and finding the blessing in all things.   It's not the behavior or attitude I normally get when things are not going the way they wanted or planned them to.  However, my daughter gave me a lesson of seeing the bright side of a bummer situation.

I was cleaning up the flooded water in our basement and lamenting about how gross it was, that this was not a good situation, and blah blah blah.  Then, I hear Izzy say-

 "At least if it keeps flooding to the top, it could be a swimming pool for us to swim in!"

Thank you Izzy for finding the bright side of the situation, I would have never thought of that!
