Someone once said, "Never pass a lemonade stand". I've searched and cannot find the author of this quote but
I love it.
My children begged me to allow them to sell lemonade at the end of the driveway and although they had done it a couple of years ago, I wasn't really in the mood to manage the whole thing. Somehow it happened anyway (ever have those times?) and the purity and sweetness of their activity blew me away. Being just that much older made them independent little entrepreneurs, and as it turned out, I hardly lifted a finger.
When they began to attract several passers-by, I thought it might be a good idea to have a worthy cause for the money, rather than filling their pockets. They agreed, and since we had just viewed photos online of the devastating damage that a tornado had left in a nearby city, we decided to help a family rebuild.
Of course, with $36.63 in the end, it wasn't much of a rebuilding fund, but in this family, we believe in
God's multiplication abilities :)
