Tender mercies

Today in sacrament meeting I was going to bear my testimony, but there wasn't time, unlike normal months there were no lulls, so I thought it would be appropriate to share some feelings with you here.  I want you all to know that we are so blessed - God truly is in our lives.  He knows the end from the beginning, and if we would just put our trust in Him, just have faith, then things would work out right.  This spring when we were planting the garden, never have we planted potatoes as early as we did this year.  We didn't know if they would freeze or what, but Heavenly Father knew - He knew we would have a great harvest and that we needed to get it in early.  Everything in the garden went smooth this year, I believe because Heavenly Father knew that Glenn and Allie would be moving and we would need to have the garden taken care of so we could help them.  What a tender mercy, others might not see it that way, but I truly believe that God is in the details of our lives.  He wants to bless us, He wants us to be happy so He showers us with tender mercies, we just have to see them.  I know that God lives and loves us.  I know that He sent His Son here to earth for each of us, the atonement works for each of us, we just have to have faith and use it.  We can become a forever family, let's each of us work hard to make that happen - because I don't know about you but I want to be with all of you forever.  I challenge each of us to take a moment each day and see what tender mercy our Heavenly Father has given us that day, and then to thank Him for blessing us so much.  I love you all.
