Michelle Clarke says, "I remember not having any food, but God was always on time. I remember not being able to wash my clothes, but God said you have a tub and there is nothing wrong with your hands. There were so many other hardships, but God kept me.

I’m thankful for those trials I experienced because they transformed me into a woman of faith. I got to know who God was for myself. Previously, I had been relying on my mother or my father’s faith, but eventually it was just me and God."

Don McLeod is likely the best lemonade-maker you'll ever meet.

Every so often, you meet another human being who “sets you back on your heels” to take stock of your own life, prompting you to ask yourself what you will do when life gives you lemons as it has for Don.

In the time you listen to this story, I hope you’ll be saying, “I could learn a thing or two from this man’s life.”
