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.

This is a broad tender mercy, but I feel that it is from the Lord. In my twelve years of marriage my husband and I have never lived close to either one of our families. This year was a time of change and transition for our family. And this year the Lord saw fit that we should be by our family. This year I have been especially blessed to develop deeper relationships with four sisters-in-law and my mother-in-law. I have known them and have loved them, but now I feel like I really KNOW them and LOVE them. They also provided strength and comfort that I needed. I am thankful that the Lord has given me this experience to create special bonds with extended family members.
