Where's the Silver Lining?
Robin Volker

AFFIRMATION - When faced with a life challenge, I turn to the Christ within to guide me toward whatever I need to resolve the situation.

Scripture: Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30 RSV

· Every cloud has a silver lining and finding it is one of the best ways to turn an apparent problem into a blessing.

· We are never presented with an apparent problem unless we can solve it; either by ourselves or with the help of others.

· When we find ourselves, individually or collectively, at the border of order and chaos, we are poised to experience the greatest growth.

· "When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty...but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong." Buckminster Fuller.

This week, I will not let chaos get the better of me. I will look to love to restore divine order in my life.
