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.

A son's inspiration

After one very hard parenting day, I went to my email and found my son had emailed me a beautiful quote that was an answer to my heart's needs. I felt as if God was symbolically patting my back and saying, "Things will be fine." Lisa Sabey

    Two years ago I was encouraged by my seminary teacher that when we pray find a time to pause when it feels right and just strive to feel the holy ghost. now at that time I really haven't been faithful with my daily prayers, so at that night I decided that I need to pray. At one point while I was praying I felt sooo much warmth and love and peace that I stopped and at that point it felt to me that Heavenly Father was giving me that biggest bear hug that I could ever have and I could feel the spirit so strongly that to me Heavenly Father was telling me " I love you".

    When we got the news that our son Evan was wounded in an ambush you could imagine our deep concern. We were able to talk to him on the phone right after he came out of surgery which was extremly comforting. But he was so groggy that he really didn't know his own injuries. As a mother all I wanted was to be able to see him. I just didn't know how that would be possible. I just pled with the Lord to be able to see my precious son. Early the next morning I got a call from my neice who told me to get on face book right away. There posted all the way from Iraq was the most beautiful picture I have ever seen of my son. He was so much better looking than I had imagined he would be. Truly a gift from a loving father to a heart sick mother.
