You've heard the old adage, "If life gives you lemons, then make lemonade" ... which is exactly what some of you are doing this summer, creatively transforming the ordinary into extraordinary. You have the opportunity to see amazing results as you serve the spiritual needs of children and families in your community.

At a recent staff meeting, it was Wayne Heinke's turn to provide our devotional moment. He read a story about a family who was forever changed because of one woman's witness. What looked like a basket of bitter lemons was miraculously transformed into sweet nectar by God's redeeming grace. I hope you will take time to ponder the eternal impact of your influence. I look forward to hearing your stories of exciting summer miracles!
