lesson from lemon

This week I learned a lesson through my sore throat and cold (dohh still nyambung ye, ga beres2...). Oh btw, thanks for your prayers, I have now regained my voice again and the cold/flu is GONE. Yeaaaach! I think I spent 3 big chunk of lemons and 1 medium bottle of honey for the past 4-5 days. AND IT WORKS, MY FRIENDS! Believe it or not, it works! Just have a good amount of rest, a plentiful amount of drink, and take some standard medicines if you need.
Ok. What kind of lesson I'm talking about? It's about a lesson of life. I tell you a secret.
I hate lemons and I hate honey.
Yaiks!
Are you kidding me?
Just to be frank. I never liked those stuffs. However, it was really interesting that when I realize that I got the cold and flu problem, I remember an old advice to take those stuffs. So before the problem got worse, I just drank 'em though I hate 'em
Well, now I'm gonna talk about another thing. I asked a fren about going to the gym to exercise. I've been doing that more intensely since I'm here in L-ville. I asked him how often he went exercise while he was still actively doing that. He said quite often.
Let me tell you another secret. I used to hate running and lifting weights or exercise. Now? I do it again and again.
Bottom line is, I'm trying to apply the principle taken from these realities in life. There are times in our lives where we should have done something necessary for the benefits of our lives, but we reluctant to do it. The problem could be anything. Take an easy example. Which one sounds better? Studying for test or watching movies while enjoying chips n dips? I guess most people would answer the latter is the easiest one. We are humans inclined to do the BAD rather than the GOOD. (No matter how good we are. Ever feel that way?) Our sinful and selfish nature preoccupies that we would rather choose evil than good. I have to admit that this is one of my weaknesses. I'm in the point of life where I'm trying to do something GOOD based to the fact that I need it, although I might having the "hate" feelings of doing it. And I believe everyone would agree that it's not easy at all. Anywhere at one point of our lives, we will have to drink the sour-ness of the lemon of life. And there's more sour in it than in the regular lemon. (Everybody still agree????) I learned this through the sickness. Still a whole lot thing to learn. Well, the bad news is that it's much easier to talk than to do it. The good news is, there's no way we can do it except by relying to God's grace. That's all.

Lord, help me... help us.
