Sharing Tender Mercies

Tender Mercies are the little things that happen regularly that assure us that God is aware of us and willing and able to help us. We as sisters in the Cornerstone Park Ward want to record and share some of the tender mercies we see and feel in our lives. Anyone can share anonymously or use their names. Anyone can change names of people in their writing to assure confidentiality when needed. However, honesty and truth are paramount. Often tender mercies are simple. Sometimes they are hugely miraculous. Our hope is that each sister will go to this blog regularly to read about each other's lives and to record the tender mercies seen and felt. This is an open blog. Women of other faiths are also welcome to read and share their tender mercies.

Divine Signatures and Visiting Teachers!

So grateful for my visiting teacher and her awareness of me and my needs. I am reading the book "Divine Signatures" which she lent me, and am grateful to the Lord today for visiting teachers and witnesses that He lives!

I know the Lord helps meet our needs through visiting teaching!

You!

My tender mercy today is my dear sisters in the Cornerstone Park Ward! Thank you so much for your love and support. I had so many offers to assist me this month after the transplant surgery. I am grateful to you, even if I don't take advantage of your offers.. there were so many. I feel your love. Thank you so much!!

Visiting Teachers

Life has been pretty rough lately. I'm making it through, but sometimes I just feel kind of alone. This week, my new visiting teachers came by. It was a wonderful visit. I truly feel like the Lord hand-picked these two sisters just for me. They took the time, they heard me, and I can tell they understand me. Most importantly, they brought the Spirit into my home. That really made my week.

Creative Breakthrough!

I was having a complete mental block on a creative project I'm working on, and then the Lord gave me some inspiration this morning! It is something I'm working towards just for me, but it helped me remember the Lord cares. The result was something better than I could have come up with myself!

Guidance in parenting

I was having a very difficult time with one of my children. Although I wanted to express and show my love, my child wasn't feeling it or accepting my love. Then one night I was just thinking and the thought to write to my child came to me. It seemed so simple, and so right. I started to write each night for a few nights, I it made a difference. I'm grateful for the simple help I get from God.

The Letter

I haven't been to Church in a while and Last week I got a very strong feeling of Embarrassment. I was feeling very embarrassed for not going. I just couldn't face my class in Primary. I prayed a lot about this and asked Heavenly Father for a comfort. In that same week I got a Letter from one of my sweet student's telling me she missed me. Her mom put in a separate note telling me that her daughter thinks of me every Sunday.
My answer from Heavenly Father.
My sweet student wants me to come back.
My embarrassment left me at that moment.
Heavenly Father Loves me and hears me.
I'm so grateful to the love I feel from My Heavenly Father and the sweet little girl who followed a prompting.

For the past few weeks I have been having trouble with my car overheating, so last week on Thursday, on my way to work I was stuck in rush hour and of course right when things could get worse it did. My car started to overheat and I could see some white smoke coming out from the side of my car so that's when I started to panic, and while I was panicking I started to feel peace and comfort and I noticed that I was two cars way from a parking lot where I could pull over and let my car cool down. After it had cooled down I still was worried that I would not make it to work, so I said a little prayer in my heart that I would make it and that everything will be OK. I got to work just fine and I felt so grateful that it did not happen on the highway because of the crazy rush hour. I know that after that had happened that the lord was watching over me and my silly car so that I would be out of harms way.
