Every year during Pentecost, the sermon is about the Holy Spirit and the Pastors struggle to explain the Holy Spirit. Ironically, for me, the Holy Spirit is the easiest of the Holy Trinity to explain. My personality is not naturally spiritual. I want to be spiritual, but I’m just not; I need help.
I absolutely love life and all the fun and excitement it brings me every day. I’ve been very blessed to have this “my glass is always half full” philosophy. This is not to say, I haven’t had bad things happen to me. During these bad times, I go through the usual depression and despair. But, in not a very long time period, I wake up one morning full of hope and excitement at making “lemonade out of lemons.”
My sense of humor and making people laugh is the tonic from which I drink. What a gift for good works and my way of life God has given me !!
What other explanation is there, but the Holy Spirit gives me grace and saves me. I’m not sure what the plan is the above verse from Ephesians states, but I certainly look forward to the trip, thanks to my faith in the Holy Spirit.
Have a Blessed day. Drink a glass of lemonade today.
