We’ve all heard the saying, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”, right? This little lamb brought that saying to life this past summer by working hard to overcome a physical disability. His caretakers named him Lemonade, and after you watch the video you will agree his name couldn’t be more perfect. Without organizations such as Edgar’s Mission in Australia, lambs like Lemonade wouldn’t stand a chance at survival. Stories like this always pull at my heartstrings because of the selfless advocacy for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
The mission statement of Edgar’s Mission reads: “If we could live happy and healthy lives without harming others, why wouldn’t we?” What a wonderful question! Can you imagine how much better this world would be if all of us lived to fulfill that mission? Please do me a favor… envision a simple way you could make someone or something’s life better today, then take a step to make it happen!
I envision myself spending a little bit longer outside with my dog today, and watching his excitement and wonder at the sights and smells we so often take for granted.
