Description: On her very first field trip as a new teacher, there was a horrific bus accident, which tragically took the lives of all the children under her charge.

Then it struck me, Paul was speaking of joy and peace as ingredients that together would become hope. So I went with a metaphor. In the metaphor, we are lemons, often embittered by the world, we may not be the most pleasant company, but once we're squeezed out of our comfort zones, mixed (by the Spirit) with water (peace) and sugar (joy), we can pour out God's ...
