grind it up, “but don't you think it might be just a little too hot to 
go out and do that kind of work?” 

I had no idea if this would work, but I was holding my breath. 

“You know,” she said rather slowly, “I think you're right. It's probably
too hot for us to go out and work up such a sweat.” She then walked 
away. 

Talk about wanting to break into your happy dance! Did I discover
something or what? 

Just this morning she said something to the effect that we needed to go
to the store to get a few things. I was just about ready to open my 
mouth when she said, “And, if you mention how hot it is outside, you 
will be in deep, deep trouble.” And she was not smiling. 

“Oh, no, my dear,” I said as I got up out of my chair, “the weather is
perfect to go to the store.” 

Obviously, there was no perchance of breaking into my happy dance;
however, I did put on a happy smile. 

One thing I have learned and that is no matter how bad a situation may
be, there is always something good that you can discover. Sometimes 
it's rather difficult to find anything good in some situations. 

Jeremiah, known as the weeping prophet, discovered this sort of thing.
“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his 
compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy 
faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23). 

Every cloud has a silver lining, and sometimes you have to really work
hard to find that silver lining.
