COMMENTARY PEARL
Oma, would you help me set up a lemonade
stand?" my nine-year-old granddaughter texted one
summer afternoon. I was home alone savoring the
solitude to finish a project. So I wrestled with my
answer - for about two seconds. There's just
something about a lemonade stand.
I knew Peyton was home alone with her
older brother and sister who'd outgrown the lure
of a lemonade stand. "I'll come right over," I
texted back Soon, we'd made a huge sign, gathered
supplies, and carried a small folding table down the
driveway to set up shop in the shade on their
neighborhood street. Two kinds of lemonade and some
plastic cups. Nothin' fancy. Peyton set the price at
a dollar a cup, with free refills. Inflation!
I thought, remembering her mom's lemonade
stands a generation ago. Peyton was here for the
earnings; I was here for the memories.
Her first customer was a burly man in a
construction truck.
"My kids used to have lemonade stands,"
he said, handing over a couple of dollar
bills.
A biker zoomed by. "I'll be back!" he
yelled, and soon reappeared. "Went home to get
money. I can't pass up a lemonade stand."
The mail delivery vehicle stopped. "I
love lemonade stands," the driver said, sipping
her pink lemonade and telling us about her life
as a mail carrier.
Others stopped - more workers, a teenager
learning to drive, neighbors with their kids.
The last customer was a man on his way
home from work "There's just something about a
lemonade stand," he said wistfully as he handed
Peyton a five-dollar bill. "Keep the change. And
thanks."
Lord, You are the powerful Creator of the
universe and tender Shepherd who gathers generations
and neighbors together at a simple lemonade
stand. Thank You. Carol Kuykendall [Walking in
