About this listen
In this uplifting talk, Rev. Martin Preston reframes the classic phrase “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” From circus-born pink lemonade lore to spiritual principles from Ernest Holmes, Martin shows how we transform bitterness into blessing with three ingredients: lemons (problems), water (Spirit), and sugar (love). You’ll learn six practical steps for meeting adversity:
-
Be grateful • 2) Stay calm • 3) React positively • 4) Accept reality (then act) • 5) Go outside • 6) Meditate daily. Stories—from Edison’s hearing aids to Nick Vujicic’s life without limits to Little Caesars founder Mike Ilitch—illustrate how gratitude, calm, and love unlock creative solutions. Close with a smile (and maybe a glass of lemonade).
