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.

Protection from the weather

I was at Karen Robinson's house ready to go home when it started to rain cats and dogs. It started to pour down hard. Karen escorted each sister out with her one umbrella. It was almost my turn to go outside and I just said a little prayer, "God, would you hold up the rain just enough to let me get home?" Just then it stopped raining for just a few minutes--enough time to get out into my car and home and into my house.

A second time I went grocery shopping and had my car packed with groceries. It threatened to rain and I prayed that it wouldn't rain until after I got my groceries in. I went home, parked, got my groceries in and then it started to pour for the rest of the evening. I knew it was God watching over me.
