    About this ebook

    I chose this title because of a card I received after my twin sister Joan had passed away. We were separated in the third grade by our teacher. We went to different schools afterwards and stopped dressing alike. That's where my bitterness began. It was like losing my best friend. Upon receiving the card, "When life gives you lemons make lemonade." I knew that's what I needed to do. I wanted to end my bitterness and be better. Joan had several articles published in Gallup, New Mexico. She was able to choose some of my poems that she liked best before she passed. Through prayer and asking God blessed me to write poems. Sometimes I would wake up early in the morning and remember a certain poem that God had put in my heart and I would quickly get up and write it down, so I would not forget it. I have always enjoyed poems that rhyme. Writing poems and making them rhyme gave me much joy. Just writing about life through a poem can uplift, encourage, and perhaps let you see things in a different light. Once you seek and find where your bitterness may have begun you know you can overcome the problem. Trusting and having faith in God can help you discover and remove the bitterness in your life and forgiving those involved. You may also help others through a poem, a song, or words to encourage and brighten their day. This can also let them know that God cares, and you can go from bitter to better. Trust God always.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the
